Biotechnology and agriculture

Abstract

Farmers adopting first-generation genetically engineered (GE) crops derive tangible benefits, even though not all benefits are reflected in standard measures of net returns. The impacts of GE crops vary with annual pest infestations, seed premiums, prices of alternative pest control programs, and any premiums paid for segregated (i.e., non-GE) crops. © 2010 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
