Do you have any source for that?

Sure, the traits are typically insect tolerance and herbicide tolerance. I guess I’m giving BT short shrift. Many crops have both traits.

Upwards of 90% of all major crops (corn, soy, cotton, beets) have BT, HT or both. Other GMO crops and traits are dwarfed by scale of this mass cultivation.

Notice that traits like drought resistance don’t come up at all.
