Historical review reveals widespread adoption of glyphosate-tolerant crops in North American agriculture, indicating rising weed resistance and slowing technological innovation.

Key Points

To evaluate the adoption patterns, market impacts, and agronomic consequences of transgenic herbicide-resistant crops over their initial decade of commercial cultivation.
Reviewed historical adoption and market share data for transgenic bromoxynil-, glufosinate-, and glyphosate-resistant crops from 1995 to 2005.
Evaluated industry-wide shifts in herbicide discovery funding and tracked reports of emerging weed resistance.
Glyphosate-resistant soybean, cotton, and canola captured a dominant market share in North America, substantially diminishing the value of alternative herbicide markets.
Widespread market dominance led to reduced commercial investment in novel herbicide discovery.
Evolving glyphosate-resistant weed populations and regulatory pauses in crops such as sugarbeet and wheat indicate future adoption will be less dramatic than the preceding decade.
