| I am working on a slide presentation discussing "The Genetic Revolution in Agriculture" and would like to include 1 or more tables/graphs showing the prevalence of hybrid seed use in US (and maybe global) agriculture.
Lots of sources state that hybrid seed corn has exceeded 99% for many decades.
My understanding is that cotton, tobacco, sorghum, sunflower, sugarbeet and lots of horticultural crops are primarily produced from hybrid seed.
Do any of you have access to hybrid seed use #s for specific crops (other than corn) ? or documentation of the timing/rate of hybrid adoption for specific crops?
A table from the mid 90s showing hybrid seed use in veg crops should be attached.
