• Rents, Actors, and the Expansion of Commodity Frontiers in the Gran Chaco (2018, background): “No-till cropping allowed for higher water retention in soils, a key factor in dry environments, and its spread was enabled by the development of glyphosateresistant GM soy, which removed the need to till the soil for weed control (Qaim and Traxler 2005).”
• The Economics of Genetically Modified Crops (2009, background): “Qaim & Traxler (2005) showed that the average gross margin gains through HT soybean adoption are in a magnitude of more than $20 per ha for Argentina.”
• 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].”
• Multi-causal and integrated assessment of sustainability: the case of agriculturization in the Argentine Pampas (2009, background): “The most dramatic technological innovation in Argentine agriculture is the 1996 introduction of genetically modified soybeans tolerant to glyphosate, an herbicide that controls weeds but does not affect soybeans (Trigo and Cap 2003; Qaim and Traxler 2005 ).”
• Modifying Argentina: GM soy and socio-environmental change (2014, background): “In this way, Argentine agriculture resembles that of other large GM biotech adopters, such as the United States, as the number of farms and farmers shrinks, farm-scale expands, and control shifts increasingly to agribusinesses (Magdoff et al., 2000; Magdoff and Tokar, 2010).”
