Southeast Regional Spotlight
Each of the six new Deltapine® Class of 10 cotton varieties offers yield and fiber quality improvements over commercial standards. Each also contains Genuity™ Bollgard II® with Roundup Ready® Flex traits to help maximize performance on fields across the Southeast. In field trials east of Texas, yield averages were 50 to 100 pounds more per acre with the Class of 09 compared to current standards, and the Class of 10 yielded an additional 100 to 200 pounds. With these figures, farmers could harvest one or two more bales of cotton per bag of Deltapine® Class of 10 seed purchased.
In 2009, we introduced a new naming system for Deltapine cotton varieties. Each product now has four numbers in the name. The first two numbers signify the year of commercialization, and the second two numbers indicate maturity based on the following scale:
- 10-20 = Early
- 20-30 = Early-mid
- 30-40 = Mid
- 40-50 = Mid-Full
- 50-60 = Full

Understanding the Names of Deltapine Varieties
In 2009, Monsanto's Deltapine® business introduced a new naming system designed to help farmers better identify promising new cotton varieties for the Deltapine brand. The new naming approach for Deltapine varieties uses a four digit numbering system. The first two numbers indicate the year the variety was introduced, and the second two numbers showing relative maturity. The uppercase abbreviation at the end of the name will continue to represent the included Genuity™ trait technology.
