When you combine the Deltapine® tradition for superior genetics with the newest trait technology, nobody delivers cotton products with higher potential for yields and fiber quality. Here is a sample of what people are saying.
David Taylor about Class of 10
"We have 09R643, 09R555, and 09R999 on our farm in three different locations. They are all “rocked up” and looking great. Early season drought stress had our cotton stunted and way behind through the middle of july. Since then, we have caught some timely rains and all three varieties have really packed on the fruit maintained excellent retention."
"DP 0920 B2RF was a beautiful-looking variety and the best yielding one, too. Its strength was good, which is a plus on loan value. We suffered some high mic this year, but all of the Deltapine varieties hit in the good mic level. DP 0920 B2RF had tremendous 3-bale to the acre yield and gong into the loan at the 55-cent range. It beat ST 4554 B2RF by 110 pounds. We will plant some of this variety in 2009 to get another look at it. We want to see how it performs against ST 4554 B2RF in both dry and irrigated conditions."

| “As cotton planting begins in Texas, we remind farmers that a method for predicting a seed’s ability to establish a stand under typical field conditions during planting is the use of the cool/warm vigor index, or CWVI. This is the combined warm and cool germination test ratings. Using this index is a better predictor of actual field performance than merely a warm test rating, since the cool test is often more typical of those conditions experienced in the field. CWVIs of 140 or greater should be a minimum.” |
