Paymaster Cottonseed is releasing 3 new stacked-gene BG/RR picker cotton varieties for the 1999 growing season. These varieties each contain both the Bollgard and Roundup Ready genes from Monsanto. PM 1215 BG/RR and PM 1218 BG/RR are both early maturing, semi-smooth leaf varieties that have performed equal or better than check varieties in 1998 field trials. PM 1560 BG/RR is a hairy-leaf, mid to full season variety with outstanding fiber qualities and has performed equal or better than check varieties in field tests in 1998. For the 1999 growing season, PM 1215 BG/RR will be available in limited to good quantities, while the availability of PM 1218 BG/RR and PM 1560 BG/RR will both be very limited.
