Average values of 2015-2016 Southern High Plains and Trans-Pecos plot locations.NexGen varieties include: NG 3405 B2XF, NG 3406 B2XF, NG 4545 B2XF, NG 4601 B2XF, NG 3522 B2XF, NG 3517 B2XF, NG 3500 B2XF

DP 1522 B2XF | Early-mid maturity variety with good fiber quality and yield potential that is widely adapted. Aggressive growth will require timely PGR management.

DP 1549 B2XF | Full-season variety with performance potential on par with DP 1044 B2RF, especially on dryland and fields with limited water for irrigation.

DP 1612 B2XF | Early-maturity variety with excellent fiber length and strength. Easy to manage, and best fit in short-season environments.

DP 1639 B2XF | Mid-maturity variety with excellent fiber properties and improved fiber length compared to DP 1538 B2XF.

DP 1646 B2XF | Mid-full maturity variety with outstanding yield potential and fiber properties. Broadly adapted to full-season environments.

DP 1646 B2XF is definitely making a lot of

cotton. We are seeing a 38-39 staple average on

dryland and irrigated. We’ve had dryland fields

make anywhere from 1 1/4 bales to 1 1/2 bales.

The irrigated fields, so far, are making around

3 3/4 to 4 bales per acre, with some of our best

fields yet to be harvested.
