Monsanto will announce the new Deltapine Class of 11 variety to be released for commercial sale for the 2011 season for mid to full season markets. The Class of 11 candidate lines include 09R555B2R2, 09R619B2R2, and 10R052B2R2. All three of these lines were tested broadly in the 2010 growing season: in University OVT’s, on-farm strip trials, and on-farm module sized trials. The launch of the new Class of ’11 variety will be supported by hundreds of locations of testing for yield, fiber quality, and agronomic characteristics.
