USDA ERS - Drought-Tolerant Corn in the United States: Research, Commercialization, and Related Crop Production Practices

Droughts are among the most frequent causes of crop yield losses, failures, and subsequent crop revenue losses across the world. In corn, a major U.S. row crop with significant water needs, water stress can lead to fewer and smaller kernels, and ultimately lower yields. Genetically engineered (GE) and non-genetically engineered (non-GE) drought tolerance became broadly available in corn varieties between 2011 and 2013. By 2016, 22 percent of total U.S. corn acreage was planted with drought-tolerant (DT) varieties. DT corn is concentrated in drought-prone regions of the United States and tends to be combined with other GE traits and used along with conservation tillage and irrigation.
