The Contribution of Breeding to Yield Advances in maize (Zea mays L.) (2005, background): “Likewise, with regard to pesticides, as noted earlier, a small number of effective aids from biotechnology for genetic improvements in disease and insect resistance are already in place and more are contemplated (Fernandez-Cornejo and McBride, 2002; James, 2003a; Rice et al., 2003; Runge and Ryan, 2”
Impact of Access to Credit on Agricultural Productivity: Evidence from Smallholder Cassava Farmers in Nigeria (2015, background): “Although, it is noted that good planting material improves cassava productivity and enhances varietal yield stability and the type of planting material plays a significant role in determining the quantity of roots at harvest, a review of factors that affect technology adoption carried out by Feder a”
Genetically Engineered Crops in the United States (2014, methodology): “Insect-resistant or Bt crops contain a gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that produces a protein which is toxic to certain insects, protecting the plant over its entire life (Fernandez-Cornejo and McBride, 2002).”
Pesticide Use in U.S. Agriculture: 21 Selected Crops, 1960-2008 (2014, background): “Insect-resistant (Bt) crops contain genes from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis that produce a protein toxic to specific insects, protecting the plant over its entire life (Fernandez-Cornejo and McBride, 2002).”
