dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the farm-level impact of use of genetically
modified herbicide-tolerant (GM HT) soybeans in Romania. It
covers the context of soybeans in Romania, weeds, conventional
control measures, and the impact of using herbicide-tolerant
technology. Impact on yields, costs of production, and
profitability are examined; GM HT technology is shown to have
had a significant positive impact on yields and profitability. Estimates
of the production impact at a national level and the environment
are also made. The adoption of the technology has
delivered major improvements in farm income, mostly from yield
enhancements associated with improved weed control. | eng |
