192 Symposium--Opportunities and Agronomic Challenges of the New Transgenic Events in Commodity Crops: I

A second wave of transgenic events will reach producers in the next decade. It has been argued that 50% of the gains realized by the Green Revolution were the results of improved agronomic practices. Will agronomists realize the same successes in the Green Revolution 2.0?
