BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PEST RESISTANCE: AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF REFUGES [PDF]
Transgenic crops offer farmers a new and effective pest control option. However, the wide spread adoption of these crops could lead to a resistant pest population. This paper demonstrates how a pest refuge can be used to maximise the value of farm income
