• The Realized Yield Effect of Genetically Engineered Crops: U.S. Maize and Soybean (2013, positive): “, Bt maize) provide a positive externality for local nonadopters (Wu et al., 2008; Hutchison et al., 2010; Lu et al., 2012).”
• Resistance Mechanisms Against Arthropod Herbivores in Cotton and Their Interactions with Natural Enemies (2013, background): “In six provinces of China, Wu et al. (2008) observed a linear decline in populations of H. armigera on cotton associated with increasing yields since the adoption of Bt cotton in 1997.”
• Impact of Bt cotton on pesticide poisoning in smallholder agriculture: A panel data analysis (2011, background): “These Bt genes make the plant resistant to certain insect pests, especially the cotton bollworm and related species, which are very damaging in many cottongrowing regions of the world and are responsible for intense chemical pesticide applications (Zehr, 2010).”
• Success of the high‐dose/refuge resistance management strategy after 15 years of Bt crop use in North America (2011, background): “However, adoption in Europe and many developing countries has been uneven (Andow et al., 2008; Wu et al., 2008; James, 2009; Fonseca & Zambrano, 2010).”
• Field-Evolved Resistance to Bt Maize by Western Corn Rootworm (2011, background): “Benefits of Bt crops include reduced use of harmful insecticides and regional suppression of some key agricultural pests [2,3,4,5,6].”
• GM crops: global socio-economic and environmental impacts 1996- 2007 (2008, background): “Thereafter based on Gonzales et al (200918) +23% dry season crops & +20% wet season crops; Yorobe (2004) +38% dry season crops & +35% wet season crops; Ramon (2005) found +15.”

• Global status of commercialized biotech/GM crops: 2006. (2006, background): “An important paper in Science (Wu et al. 2008) suggested that the potential number of small farmers actually benefiting indirectly from IR cotton in China might be as high as an additional 10 million. A paper by Hutchison (2010) based on studies in the USA draws similar conclusions as Wu et al.”
