Stoneville Pedigreed Seed Company is introducing the new variety ST 4793R for the 2001 planting season. It was derived through a backcrossing procedure to incorporate Monsanto’s Roundup Ready ^® technology into the recurrent parent ST 474. The variety is very similar to the recurrent parent in lint yield, lint percent, fiber properties, and plant development characters. Comparisons in both Stoneville and public trials indicate that the variety performs as-well-as or better than the leading conventional and transgenic varieties.
