Genetic engineering (GE) is a key component of modern agricultural biotechnology. GE cotton was commercially introduced in the United States in 1995, and adoption rates increased rapidly in the years that followed. Genetically engineered seeds have accounted for the majority of cotton acres since 2000, expanding from 61 percent of acreage that year to 96 percent in 2020.
