Cotton has a long and storied heritage. But today's cotton farmers are benefiting from a number of advanced second-generation and stacked-trait technologies. These farmers are using Genuity™ trait technologies that put superior flexibility, convenience and protection inside the seed.
Inserting one or more genes in the seed with biotechnology traits, such as Genuity™ Bollgard II® and Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Flex, provides you with a novel way to combat insects and control weeds.
Since 2004, this technology has been reducing—and often eliminating—the need to spray for the most damaging worm species and at the same time, sometimes eliminating the need for a refuge.
Genuity™ Roundup Ready Flex cotton extends the over-the-top application period of Roundup WeatherMAX® and Roundup PowerMAX® to up to seven days before harvest.
Genuity™ Bollgard II® with Roundup Ready Flex® cotton varieties combine powerful insect control and herbicide tolerant traits all in one seed.
Our experts are available to answer your questions about Genuity™ traits, the future of agriculture and the many challenges ahead for farmers.
No one knows exactly how old cotton is. Scientists have determined fiber and boll fragments from the Tehuacán Valley of Mexico to be about 7,000 years old. Today, the new technologies are taking cotton into the future.
