Global Status and Trends of Commercialized Biotechnology in Crops costs. Biotech crops offer substantial economic advantages to farmers compared with corresponding conventional crops. The severity of weed and insect pests varies from year to year and hence will directly impact pest control costs and the economic advantages of biotech crops in any given time or place. Distribution of Biotech Crops, by Trait During the nine-year period 1996 to 2004, herbicide tolerance has consistently been the dominant trait, with insect resistance second (Figure 2). In 2004, herbicide tolerance, deployed in soybean, maize, canola, and cotton, occupied 72% of the 81.0 million ha (Table 3). There were 15.6 million ha planted to Bt crops, equivalent to 19%, with stacked genes for herbicide tolerance and insect resistance deployed in both cotton and maize occupying 9% of the global biotech area in 2004. It is noteworthy that whereas the area of herbicide-tolerant crops increased by a significant 18% (8.9 million ha) between 2003 and 2004, Bt crops increased at a higher level of 28% (3.4 million ha). This increase in Bt crops reflects the significant increase in Bt maize in 2004 (2.0 million ha) and the increase of Bt cotton (1.4 million ha) in China, India, and Australia. Whereas most of the growth in Bt maize occurred in the U.S., there were also significant increases in Bt maize area in Argentina, Canada, South Africa, Spain, and the Philippines. The stacked traits of herbicide tolerance and insect resistance in both maize and cotton increased by 17% in 2004, reflecting the needs of farmers who must simultaneously address the multiple yield constraints associated with various biotic stresses. This trend will continue and intensify as more traits become available to farmers, and it is an important feature of the technology. ! – 35 – Source: Clive James, 2004 Figure 2.
