This data product summarizes the adoption of herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant corn, cotton, and soybeans. The tables below provide data obtained by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) in the June Agricultural Survey for 2000–23. ERS does not modify the data published in the annual NASS Acreage report.

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 in their brief, Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops: 2019, which is available on the ISAAA website along with other resources.

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