The research paper presented below evaluates the hypothetical economic and environmental benefits of adopting genetically modified seeds resistant to fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in the production of Maíz Amarillo Duro at Jayanca district, Lambayeque Department. Low crop arise, because the study area offers this plague the necessary conditions for free propagation, forcing producers to opt for agrochemicals (pesticides) to counter it; which translates into higher costs, environmental damage and possible health problems. The methodologies used throughout the paper are, in that order, Partial Budget, Analysis of Social Surplus, and environmental analysis through EIQ (Environmental Impact Quotient); these allow to conclude that the adoption is beneficial to both the producer and the consumer, not only for the economic benefits, but for causing the least impact on the environment in which they incurred. In this sense, an analysis at hectare level, allowed to verify profit increases of 90%, with a result of increased crop yield, despite having slight increases in costs (1.5%) due to the higher price of genetically improved seed. Likewise, social surplus (producer and consumer) would arrive the following year after adopting the technology, which would peak in the year 10 (the year in which the seed is adopted by 90% of farmers). Finally, the EIQ analysis shows that the impact on the environment due to reduced pesticide use would be reduced by about 50%, according to the levels of adoption of this new technology.
