USA - New FiberMax varieties from Bayer CropScience bring expanded maturities and trait packages to Southwest Region - Offerings provide season-long protection 


USA
 

Whether it’s tough-to-control weeds, insect pests, or adverse planting conditions, cotton growers face incredible challenges each year to produce high yields and excellent fiber quality. To help you meet some of these difficult challenges, Bayer CropScience introduces four new FiberMax® cotton seed varieties for the 2014 season that are adapted for the Southwest.

Season Long Protection

Two new varieties from FiberMax contain new TwinLink® technology with two Bt genes for season-long protection against lepidopteran pests. All four of the new FiberMax varieties incorporate stacked GlyTol® LibertyLink® technology for a wide window of over-the-top applications of Liberty® herbicide and glyphosate.

Bayer CropScience currently is the only company that offers cotton varieties with stacked herbicide trait technology for applications of Liberty and glyphosate at full-labeled rates without injury to the crop.

New FiberMax varieties available in 2014:

FM 1830GLT and FM 2334GLT offer the GlyTol, LibertyLink and TwinLink (GLT) trait package for full tolerance to both Liberty herbicide and glyphosate, and two proprietary Bayer Bt genes for effective management of major lepidopteran pests. Both varieties offer excellent yield potential and fiber quality with the added benefit of Verticillium wilt tolerance. Adapted for the High Plains, FM 1830GLT has an early-medium maturity, and FM 2334GLT has a medium maturity. FM 2334GLT has very similar characteristics to FM 2484B2F, with the added benefit of two herbicide modes of action and even better fiber quality.
