“With PhytoGen, we’ve seen a longer staple and that’s a pretty good premium that adds up at the end of the season, especially with low commodity prices.”

FIBER QUALITY IN COTTON
HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE FIBER QUALITY? WITH PHYTOGEN® COTTONSEED.
Our cottonseed varieties are bred with genetics and traits for the premium fiber quality potential that the market demands — and that’s what matters to your bottom line.
FROM MARKET DEMAND TO GENETIC ADVANTAGE
In today's competitive market, yield is only half the story. Fiber quality in cotton is the other half. Mills and merchants pay premiums for high-quality fiber. Likewise, they apply significant discounts for bales or modules that don't measure up.
PhytoGen® brand varieties are bred to deliver the genetic foundation that transforms quality potential into real-world profitability.
HIGH MARKET VALUE:
With PhytoGen cottonseed, you’re setting yourself up to grow exactly what textile mills are searching for: premium cotton fiber quality potential with ideal length, strength, uniformity, fineness, color, maturity and cleanness. Growing high-quality, reliable cotton means a stronger reputation, more selling power, better market access and fewer discounts.
MAXIMIZE PROFITABILITY:
Fiber quality bred to put dollars in your pocket. Increase the potential for higher premiums on the USDA loan chart and help capture a higher price per pound on the open market with PhytoGen brand varieties.
ENHANCE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY:
Help improve gin turnout for higher potential saleable yields. Stronger fibers (g/texg/tex) better withstand the ginning process and create less waste in spinning, increasing mill efficiency with excellent length uniformity from PhytoGen.
With PhytoGen brand varieties, you don’t have to choose between yield and quality. You can grow high-performing cotton that meets market demands and delivers on its genetic and financial potential.
