Seeds of Change: Corn Seed Mixtures for Resistance Management and Integrated Pest Management

The use of mixtures of transgenic insecticidal seed and nontransgenic seed to provide an in-field refuge for susceptible insects in insect-resistance-management (IRM) plans has been considered for at

Food Commodity Prices in the Long Run: The Crucial Role of Agricultural Research and Productivity

Over the past 50 years and longer, the supply of food commodities has grown faster than the effective market demand, in spite of increasing population and per capita incomes.

Ex Ante Analysis of the Benefits of Transgenic Drought Tolerance Research on Cereal Crops in Low-income Countries

This article develops a framework to examine the ex ante benefits of transgenic research on drought in eight low-income countries, including the benefits to producers and consumers from farm income stabilization and the potential magnitude of private sector profits from intellectual property rights (IPRs).

Generating Plausible Crop Distribution Maps for Sub-Saharan Africa Using a Spatially Disagreggated Data Fusion and Optimization Approach

Large gaps exist in our knowledge of the current geographic distribution and spatial patterns of performance of crops, and these gaps are unlikely to be filled.

The Shifting Global Patterns of Agricultural Productivity

Characteristics of Herbicides and Weed-Management Programs Most Important to Corn, Cotton, and Soybean Growers

The introduction and rapid adoption of herbicide-tolerant crops has renewed interest in better understanding the characteristics of herbicides and weed-management programs that are important to growers besides profitability.

Weed Management Costs, Weed Best Management Practices, and the Roundup Ready Weed Management Program

Roundup Ready® (RR) crops have been widely adopted because they provide significant benefits to growers, but glyphosate-resistant weeds threaten the sustainability of these benefits.

Effects of Weed Resistance Concerns and Resistance Management Practices on the Value of Roundup Ready Crops

This study estimates grower benefits of Roundup-Ready (RR) weed management programs and how weed-resistance concerns and resistance-management practices affect those benefits.

Genetically Modified Crops and Household Labor Savings in US Crop Production

In spite of widespread adoption, there is mixed evidence as to whether adopting genetically modified (GM) crops increases farm welfare.

Adoption of Best Management Practices to Control Weed Resistance by Corn, Cotton, and Soybean Growers

This study examined adoption of 10 best management practices (BMPs) to control weed resistance to herbicides using data from a survey of more than 1,000 US corn, cotton, and soybean growers.
