PM 2167 RR, A New Early-Maturity Stripper RR Variety
|
ABSTRACT Delta and Pine Land Company is introducing a new high-yielding, early-maturing stripper variety that possesses Roundup Ready® (RR) technology. PM 2167 RR represents novel germplasm to the Texas High Plains cotton producing region. PM 2167 RR was developed at Delta and Pine Lands breeding facilities in Aiken, TX and Hale Center, TX by Dr. Richard Sheetz. Numerous years of testing has shown that PM 2167 RR is well-adapted to the Texas High Plains. Delta and Pine Land data shows that PM 2167 RR has produced more lint yield per acre than PM 2156 RR, PM 2326 RR and PM 2200 RR. Seed supplies of PM 2167 RR are expected to be good for the 2002 growing season. PM 2167 RR is more stormproof than PM 2156 RR and PM 2167 RR is moderately resistant to Bacterial Blight. |
