Monsanto Features Latest Trait Technologies on Tour Across the Cotton Belt
June 9, 2010 Monsanto Company’s latest trait technologies for cotton will be on display in fields across the Cotton Belt this summer at Genuity Technology Showcase Tours.
Themed “Trait Talk,” these events highlight the latest advances in biotechnology and agronomic practices that can help farmers increase productivity and yield opportunity.
Last year, more than 18,000 farmers participated in the Technology Showcase series. This season, 21 sites across the Corn and Cotton Belts will again give farmers, seed dealers and other industry members the opportunity to see firsthand the benefits of next-generation Genuity biotechnology traits, as well as preview future trait innovations in Monsanto’s research and development pipeline.
Featured products and agronomic practices for the Cotton Belt Technology Showcase Tours will include:
- Genuity Bollgard II cotton and Genuity Bollgard II with Roundup Ready Flex cotton.
- Drought-tolerant cotton, a pipeline technology.
Genuity trait technologies are designed to play a key role in helping farmers maximize their yield and profitability, while also producing and conserving more to help meet growing global demand for food, fuel and fiber.
