Paymaster Cottonseed tested fourteen new transgenic varieties during the 1996 growing season, along with the five associated recurrent parents. The varieties all received identical management inputs. Yields and fiber properties were measured at ten locations, while plant fruiting and development traits were measured at two locations. In general, the transgenic varieties had very similar growth, fruiting, and yield characteristics. The Bollgard varieties tended to be slightly shorter than the parent varieties. Bollgard, Roundup Ready and varieties with both genes tended to exhibit slightly earlier maturity, while they began fruiting at the same node as the parent variety. The transgenic varieties yielded equal or greater than the parent variety.
