Fibermax Cotton Views
Four new FiberMax varieties adapted for the Southwest will offer GlyTol technology in 2011. GlyTol provides season-long in-plant tolerance to glyphosate and sets a new standard for glyphosate-tolerance technology. GlyTol technology gives growers the freedom to choose any brand of glyphosate registered for use on cotton, unless expressly prohibited on the herbicide label.
High yields and high quality fiber are two must-haves for any cotton producer who wants maximum profits. Because of continued research at the FiberMax cotton seed breeding stations in Leland, Miss., Sellers, S.C., and Lubbock, Texas, FiberMax will offer new cottonseed varieties in 2007 that have the potential for high yields and high lint quality.
Nichols also noted that the market share for FiberMax has increased for eight consecutive years. According to a newly issued U.S. Department of Agriculture acreage report, FiberMax varieties accounted for 26.7 percent of all U.S. cotton acreage in 2006. The report, “Cotton Varieties Planted – 2006 Crop,” was issued in September by the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service Cotton Program division in Memphis.
