2008 Stoneville Varieties

Cotton growers know Stoneville cotton seed has a tradition of excellence through early season vigor and rapid stand establishment. For 2008, new varieties in this portfolio from Bayer CropScience will improve the tradition.

This year's varieties cover multiple maturity zones and the latest trait technologies, with a focus on Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex. Growers have recognized the potential of these varieties to deliver high profits across varied geographies.

• ST 4498B2RF is an early to mid-maturity Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex product that provides excellent yield potential and fiber quality characteristics.
  
  
• ST 5458B2RF is a mid-maturity Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex product that produces yield and fiber quality packages similar to ST 4554B2RF, but matures about one week later.
