This data product summarizes the adoption of herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant crops. The tables below for corn, cotton, and soybeans provide data obtained by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) in the June Agricultural Survey for 2000 through 2017.

USDA does not collect or disseminate information about global genetically engineered (GE) seed use. However, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) does produce estimates of global GE acreage, which can be found in their report, Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops: 2016.

See more on recent trends in GE adoption, and documentation to the data.
