Delta and Pine Land Company, through its Sure-Grow breeding program, has developed a new early-maturing, conventional picker variety to be introduced in the 2000 season. Sure-Grow 105 was developed by Dr. Bob Bridge at Leland, MS, as a conventional variety widely-adapted to all regions of the cotton belt. Sure-Grow 105 has demonstrated yield and agronomic performance superior to leading conventional and transgenic varieties in all regions of the cotton belt.
