Abstract
Bt-corn hybrids are expected to play an important role in future southern corn production. Cost and yield advantages are the potential incentives for producer adoption. Using stochastic dominance analysis, this study indicates that development of this technology for southeastern production has not yet been successful from a risk-adjusted perspective.
