Bayer plans to familiarize US growers with the features, benefits, and the varieties of the new technology. The company initially plans to offer two high-yielding Gly Tol cotton seed varieties that are ideally suited to the Southwest region of the country. Varieties suited to other cotton-growing regions will be introduced in the coming years.
Monty Christian, Director of global cotton marketing, Bayer CropScience, said: “We are comprehensively preparing for a commercial launch of GlyTolTM in the United States in 2010.”
