New Varieties Show Promise
     
 Major Launch For 2010

For the second consecutive year, Monsanto and Deltapine are launching new cotton varieties based on the feedback they received from farmers participating in the NPE program.

Six new varieties for 2010 were introduced at an elaborate event in Charleston, S.C., in mid-December. Although numerous varieties were planted in the NPE trials across the country, only six were chosen to be included in the 2010 lineup.

More than 13 varieties were tested by the 160 farmers who participated. The six varieties chosen were:

• DP 1048 B2RF
• DP 1050 B2RF
• DP 1028 B2RF
• DP 1034 B2RF
• DP 1032 B2RF
• DP 1044 B2RF

According to Monsanto and Delta-pine officials, the 1048 and 1050 varieties are suited to mid- and full-season regions that stretch from Georgia to south Texas.
