Outstanding high yield potential is essential for remaining profitable in today’s market with fluctuating prices. For the 2020 planting season, cotton growers are encouraged to look at regional yield data when selecting varieties for their fields.
The top-three performing Deltapine® brand varieties by region, according to the past three releases of the annual USDA-AMS Varieties Planted Report, have shown consistent, outstanding performance especially when compared to the top-planted competitors in this region (with insect and herbicide traits) in variety comparison trials conducted by Bayer and public institutes. A minimum of four comparisons within a region were required to be included in this data analysis conducted by the Crop Science Division – Bayer cotton team.
