      abstract = {Agriculture’s significant global contribution to  greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has spurred
consumer and  retailer interest in GHG mitigation and may lead to  incentive programs for producers to lessen GHG emissions.  Along those lines, a producer choice is the use of embedded  seed technology designed to enhance the marketable portion  of yield through improved disease, weed, and pest  management with the same or lower use of inputs. This  article examines commonalities and differences across three  recent studies on rice, sweet corn, and cotton, which  addressed the impacts of embedded seed technology on yield,  input use, and GHG emissions. Embedded seed technology can  be any method of improving the physical or genetic  characteristics of a seed. These seed enhancements can  include physiological quality, vigor, and synchronicity  (consistency across seedlings in time of emergence and  size) through traditional
breeding, hybrid breeding, or  biotechnology.},
