• Ecological Engineering for Pest Management: Advances in Habitat Manipulation for Arthropods (2004, background): “Additional benefits claimed for GE crops include improved levels of control of target pests, increased yield and profits, and reduced farming risk (Edge et al. 2001).”
• Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, unknown): “[2, 10–27]).”
• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Function of the Natural Enemy Community (2005, background): “…the insecticidal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) have the potential to contribute to natural enemy conservation through both their selective activity and associated reductions in the broad-spectrum insecticides they replace (Edge et al. 2001, Shelton et al. 2002, Federici 2003).”
• Bt Cotton, Pesticides, Labour and Health (2003, background): “Several studies (Wier et al, 1998; Edge et al, 2001), mainly in the developed countries, have confirmed that the use of Bt cotton reduces insecticide costs.”
• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Abundance of Nontarget Arthropod Natural Enemies (2005, background): “…in conventional, broad-spectrum insecticide use, improved suppression of target pests, improved yields, reductions in production costs leading to increased proÞtability, and increased opportunities for biological control (Cannon 2000, Edge et al. 2001, Shelton et al. 2002, Federici 2003).”
• A Multiyear, Large-Scale Comparison of Arthropod Populations on Commercially Managed Bt and Non-Bt Cotton Fields (2005, background): “Reasons for the widespread adoption of Bt cotton by growers include increased productivity, reduced use of synthetic pesticides, and less risk associated with decision making (Edge et al. 2001, James 2002, Huang et al. 2003).”
