“ Looking at the pipeline of newer commercial varieties, ST 4946GLB2 is a bright shining star. It has
the total package with great yields, good fiber quality, easy manageability and the option to spray
Liberty herbicide or glyphosate. It is a great variety for any grower in my area.”
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.
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 help them to optimize weed
management on their farms. Also available with Bollgard II.
TwinLink technology offers two-gene Bt protection against
worm pests plus LibertyLink technology that gives full tolerance
to Liberty herbicide. TwinLink is 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 is a powerful weed and insect management
tool for growers.

“ FM 2011GT has yielded very high 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.”

“ One of the great benefits of FM 2989GLB2 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 would plant more of the FM 2989GLB2 due to its good
Verticillium tolerance.”
Vance Smith

“ FM 1830GLT had great yields for our area, over 2,000 pounds. The quality was excellent in a short
year — 55-cent cotton. Another outstanding benefit is that it was excellent on Verticillium wilt, which
is starting to become a major problem in our area.”
