Abstract: The introduction of genetically modified seed technology dramatically changed cotton production practices. Production systems based on reduced tillage and BtRR varieties improved net returns by $47.35 per acre (53%) when compared to systems based on conventional tillage and non-transgenic varieties. The impact of other technology induced changes are reported.
