  1. TRENDS IN THE USE OF CROPS DEVELOPED THROUGH BIOTECHNOLOGY IN THE USA AND THE WORLD BY: Dr. Duane R. Berglund Professor of Plant Science and NDSU Extension Agronomist

  2. GMO’s Transgenics GMC’s GM’s HTC’s BiotechnologyTerminology Used

  3. “ The application of science and engineering in the direct and indirect use of living organisms or parts or products of living organisms, in their natural or modified forms”. Agric. And Agric. Food Canada. “ A collection of scientific techniques…… that are used to create, improve or modify plants, animals and microorganisms…U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Definition of Biotechnology

  4. ‘Natural’ GM of Crops Works! • Corn grain yields have increased by 1.6 bushels per acre per year for the last 70 years. • Primarily due to ‘natural’ genetic modification (GM) and improved crop production technologies.

  5. But, some worry… • The annual yield gain (1.6 bu/ac/yr) as a percent of the yield potential of the corn crop has been decreasing for the past 70 years. Nagging Question: Can we keep up with the increasing global need for food?

  6. Soybean Corn Cotton Canola 3 years 3 years 2-3 years 1-2 years Rapid Adaptation – Biotech Crops

  7. USDA Estimates: Major Crops 118 million acres in USA 10 % Increase in acres 30 fold increase since inception in 1996 BIO TECH CROPS – 2005UNITED STATES

  8. 2003 GM Major USA Crop Plantings

  9. USA Major GM Crop Plantings

  10. BIO TECH CROPS – 2005UNITED STATES • 87% soybean acres GM (Glyphosate tolerant). • 63.8 Million Acres GM • 70% canola acres GM (Glyphosate tolerant and Liberty tolerant) • 700,000 Acres GM

  11. BIO TECH CROPS - 2005 • 52% corn acres GM 26 % Bt only 17 % Herbicide tolerant only 9% Stacked gene Hybrids • 42.4 Million Acres GM in USA

  12. BIO TECH CROPS - 2005 • 79% cotton acres GM 18% Bt only 27% Herbicide Tolerant only 34% Stacked gene cultivars • 11.1 Million Acres GM in USA

  13. Corn - North Dakota 52 % Acres Soybeans- North Dakota 89% Acres Canola – USA including North Dakota 70% Acres or higher 2005 Biotech Crop Estimates NORTH DAKOTA

  14. GM Soybeans in 2005

  15. Why Do Farmers Grow Herbicide Tolerant Soybeans

  16. Easy to use Full spectrum weed control No carryover residues (Liberty or Roundup) Environmentally safe Excellent crop safety Wide application window (crop stages & weed stages) Control of larger weeds Allowance for rescue weed control Less cost?? Herbicide Tolerant Crops – Benefits

  17. Spray drift –non-target crops Multiple applications may be required Misapplication to non-resistant crop varieties Premium price for seed Short rotations resulting in added disease/insect problems Public non-acceptance of genetically altered crops Pollen movement to organically grown crops Resistant weed species (Expected in the future) Resistant volunteers to control Herbicide Tolerant Crops - Concerns

  18. SUGARBEET: Roundup Ready is label approved Liberty Tolerant is label approved However, Industry Processors will not accept!! SUNFLOWER: (Imi) Clearfield sunflower Hybrids in commercial Fields since 2002(Non-GM) WHEAT: (Hard Red Spring): (Imi) Clearfield wheat Available in 2002 Roundup Ready – Presently placed on hold!! -Certain Markets not ready to accept!! POTATO: Bt potato available and approved Cultivars were withdrawn because of food safety/marketing issues Biotech Update/Status Other Crops

  19. Number of Deregulated Articles (total) by Phenotype Category

  20. Added Value Soybean Grain and Grain Products Protein Quality Energy, Digestibility Increased Stability Healthy Oils 38% Protein 30% Carbohydrate 18% Oil

  21. Waves of Productivity Improvement INDUSTRIAL & NOVEL PRODUCTS Renewable Polymers Chemical Feedstocks Nutraceuticals • PLANT PERFORMANCEDrought ToleranceCold Tolerance • Maturity • FOODHealthNutrition • Flavor PRODUCTIVITY (Value Creation) • FEEDNutritionEnvironment • Meat Quality • CROP PROTECTIONInsect ResistanceDisease Resistance • Herbicide Tolerance GERMPLASM BASE - THE FOUNDATION Time

  22. There is a huge hungry world to feed (Growing Population). There has never been a greater need for aggressive agricultural research! There has never been more promise of what research can accomplish!
