Plant biotechnology is a precise process in which scientific techniques are used to develop molecular- and cellular-based technologies to improve plant productivity, quality and health; to improve the quality of plant products; or to prevent, reduce or eliminate constraints to plant productivity caused by diseases, pest organisms and environmental stresses.
This process and technology already is in widespread use in the United States today. According to the Department of Agriculture, biotechnology plantings as a percentage of total crop plantings in the United States in 2004 were about 46 percent for corn, 76 percent for cotton and 85 percent for soybeans.
