FM 1740B2F has a good ber package to go

along with a good yield. Ive been recommending

FM 1740B2F in the Winter Garden area since it

came out. I think its a really good early-season,

ast-maturing variety that can save you some water

in an irrigated situation.

Stoneville varieties give me the ability to grow the

longer season cottons without using a lot o plant

growth regulator. Stoneville cotton, in the end, gives

me the yield that Im looking or.

ST 5458B2RF has been our most consistent yielder.

We have yielded in excess o 2,000 pounds per acre

on an entire arm with this variety. I we get the heat

and water on it, it will out yield pretty much anythingelse we have planted. That is why it ts our area.

It does well in the heat and makes a lot o pounds.

We planted ST 5458B2RF because it has nematode

tolerance. We were having some problems with

nematodes and wilt was showing up at the end o

the season. Since we started planting ST 5458B2RF,

we have not had nematode problems.

I have one circle that we planted to FM 2989GLB2

this year as a trial variety since its the rst year

on the commercial market. One o the great

benets is the multiple herbicide technology

where you can hit any resistant weeds or hard-to-

kill weeds, such as morningglories, with Liberty

instead o glyphosate. The variety grew well all

year. Well probably plant more o FM 2989GLB2

next year due to its good Verticillium tolerance.

FM 2989GLB2 is very promising.

TwinLinktechnology oers two-gene Btprotection against

worm pests plus LibertyLink technology that gives ull tolerance

to Liberty herbicide. TwinLink will be stacked with GlyTol to provide

double-herbicide tolerance to Liberty and glyphosate or eective

crop and resistance management. Cotton stacked with TwinLink,

GlyTol and LibertyLink will be a powerul weed and insect

management tool or growers.

It is anticipated that the rst cotton varieties with TwinLink technology will be available in

both FiberMax and Stoneville brands in the United States beginning in 2014, pending

international import approvals.

As the rst-ever cotton with ull tolerance to both glyphosate

and Liberty herb icides, 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 arms. Also available with Bollgard II.

GlyTol trait technology provides tolerance to over-the-top

applications o glyphosate, empowering growers with the

fexibility to select any brand o glyphosate herbicide labeledor use on cotton.
