Title : Meta-Analysis of Economic Indicators in Developing Genetically Modified (GM) Cotton

Abstract:

Today’s transgenic cotton are rapidly adopted by farmers around the world. Rising the area of growing GM cotton mostly derived from the yield and income gain. Both transgenic cotton and its counterpart in terms of profit gain are affected by yield, seed cost, pesticide cost, management and labor cost.  This study is a meta-analysis as a synthesis of current research by searching literature both peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed.  This meta-analysis based on more than 40 individual studies across the countries of cotton performance which came from the data survey and field trials. The database set has been selected from both transgenic and conventional cotton in order to compare in terms of economic indicators. In this study would be assumed that economic indicators vary from region to regio n around the world or may have changed over time. This paper will discuss the delivery of this technology has no doubt that increasing yield, reducing the pesticide cost and raising income gain was the main factors for cotton growers to decide planting transgenic seed. Moreover, information from the individual studies that went into the meta-analysis , and an estimate of the overall results. This will also allow to discuss a visual assessment of the amount of variation between the results of this studies both GM cotton and its counterpart. The visual assessment is adapted from systematic review and meta-data analysis which examined economic indicators of GM cotton compared with non GM cotton. This paper also will discuss the benefits of the use GM cotton based on this study shows that, for example in China, GM seed has been adopted widely and rapidly by the farmers due to the yield gain and income gain as the main factors influencing cotton growing area.
