Paymaster Cottonseed announces the release of two new varieties for the stripper cotton production areas of the Southwest. Paymaster PM 183 is an extremely early maturing stormproof variety recommended primarily for the extreme Northern High Plains under normal planting conditions and for other areas as a replant variety following weather losses late in the spring. Yields and fiber qualities, particularly fiber length, will be somewhat below the levels of more full season varieties when grown under normal season conditions.

Paymaster PM 280 is a very early maturing, high fiber quality stripper variety recommended for the Northern High Plains under normal planting conditions and as a variety for replanting after spring weather losses for the Southern High Plains. PM 280 has excellent fiber length (averaging 1.12 inches) and strength (averaging 28.5 g/tex). This combination of quality parameters will make PM 280 the new High Plains standard for fiber quality.

Paymaster Cottonseed is pleased to announce the addition of two new cotton varieties, PM 183 and PM 280, to its already well known line-up of products for the stripper cotton production areas of the Southwest.
