CG 3220B2RF and CG 3035RF are two new early- to mid-maturity CROPLAN GENETICS® cotton varieties which will be launched commercially in 2008 by the Land O'Lakes, Inc. Seed Division.  Both varieties provide producers with another option for high-yielding, high fiber quality cotton in order to effectively market into base international and high-end domestic markets. These varieties are genetically engineered with genes for Bollgard II® and Roundup Ready® Flex to help better manage season-long lepidopteran and weed pests. Both CROPLAN GENETICS® brand varieties are the third and fourth cotton varieties to be launched by the Land O'Lakes, Inc. Seed Division, a major North American seed company known for marketing corn, soybean, alfalfa and other crop seed.
