1. “FM 1944GLB2 is really exciting because it improves
on FM 1740B2F. We’ve been growing good yields
with FM 1740B2F and had really good results.
FM 1944GLB2 is going to add a little bit better
quality potential, along with GlyTol LibertyLink
traits for two modes of action in our herbicides.
With resistant pigweeds coming, that’s going to
be really important.”

“FM 2011GT yielded very high this past year on
farms with good irrigation. We didn’t have much
rain at all, but we had some farms with water
where we were able to push the yields as high as
2,200 pounds. Other farms where we were sharing
water with corn, we had yields as high as 1,100 to
1,200 pounds with very limited water. It yielded as
well as any other variety that would fit that area.”

“FM 2484B2F is going to be a really good fit in
these drip-irrigated fields to push the max in yields
and quality. In 2011, I had a drip-irrigated field of
FM 2484B2F that made 2,356 pounds. The quality
is there too. On 324 bales of FM 2484B2F, the
average loan value was 57.32 cents.”
Eric Seidenberger
Garden City, Texas
“We planted the new FM 2989GLB2 this year
as a trial variety since it’s the first year on the
commercial market. One of the great benefits is
the multiple herbicide technology where you can
hit any resistant weeds or hard-to-kill weeds,
such as morningglories, with Liberty instead of
glyphosate. The variety grew well all year. We’ll
probably plant more of the FM 2989GLB2 next
year due to its good Verticillium tolerance.
FM 2989GLB2 is very promising.”
Vance Smith
Big Spring, Texas
“We planted ST 5458B2RF because it has
nematode tolerance. We were having some
problems with nematodes and wilt was
showing up at the end of the season. Since
we started planting ST 5458B2RF, we have
not had nematode problems.”

TwinLink technology offers two-gene Bt protection against
worm pests plus LibertyLink technology that gives full tolerance
to Liberty herbicide. TwinLink will be stacked with GlyTol to provide
double-herbicide tolerance to Liberty and glyphosate for effective
crop and resistance management. Cotton stacked with TwinLink,
GlyTol and LibertyLink will be a powerful weed and insect
management tool for growers.
As the first-ever cotton with full tolerance to both glyphosate
and Liberty herbicides, GlyTol LibertyLink stacked technology
gives growers a competitive edge to choose the herbicide and
herbicide-tolerant trait system that will enable them to optimize
weed management on their farms. Also available with Bollgard II.
GlyTol trait technology provides tolerance to over-the-top
applications of glyphosate, empowering growers with the
flexibility to select any brand of glyphosate herbicide labeled
for use on cotton.
