Testing for Complementarity: Glyphosate Tolerant Soybeans and Conservation Tillage (2015, unknown): “A 2006 USDA survey found an even wider gap: soybean growers reported using CT on 86% of GT 4 acres versus 36% for CV acres (Fernandez-Cornejo et al. 2014).”
A Meta-Analysis of the Impacts of Genetically Modified Crops (2014, background): “While HT crops have reduced herbicide quantity in some situations, they have contributed to increases in the use of broad-spectrum herbicides elsewhere [2,11,19].”
A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System (2015, background): “In the United States, 90 percent of all cotton, corn, and soybean acres have genetically engineered traits (Fernandez-Cornejo et al., 2014), and globally they are planted in 28 countries (James, 2012).”
Climate Change, Global Food Security, and the U.S. Food System (2015, background): “The first USDA-approved field releases of GM crops in the United States occurred in 1985, with four releases (Fernandez-Cornejo et al. 2014).”
