The cost of several commonly used pesticides is expected to decrease in the next few years.

In the future, the cost of genetically engineered seeds is likely to increase to a higher level than nonengineered seeds.

Crops grown from the genetically engineered seeds require significantly less fertilizer and water to grow well than do crops grown from nonengineered seeds.
