YIELD RESULTS FROM THE FIELD YIELD UNDER PRESSURE FREE SOIL SAMPLE

PhytoGen^® brand varieties are winning University of Georgia official variety trials and outperforming the competition across Georgia and Alabama — on irrigated or dryland acres, nematode stricken or sandy soil, and everything in between. Year after year. See for yourself why growers trust PhytoGen.

PhytoGen is Bred to Set a New Standard for Georgia and Alabama Cotton Growers.

GEORGIA AND ALABAMA YIELD RESULTS

PhytoGen breeds, tests, and advances varieties based on yield first, no exceptions. PhytoGen^® brand PHY 357 W3FE and PHY 433 W3FE have two years of Southeast data and proven performance. The results are consistent, competitive, and local.

cotton varieties DP2127, DP2328, and DP2333 in the 2025 University of Georgia Official Variety Trials.⁴

PHY 433 W3FE DELIVERED A .82 STAPLE, 2.81 STRENGTH AND .94 UNIFORMITY ADVANTAGE

across the 2025 Clemson University Official Variety Trials.⁵

Building momentum from these breakthrough varieties released in 2025, are PhytoGen^® brand PHY 362 W3FE and PHY 491 W3FE —the newest additions of high-performance varieties in the PhytoGen portfolio and early data is strong:

 against commercial brand competitors in 2025 OVTs.⁶

PHY 362 W3FE PLACED SECOND OVERALL

in both the 2025 University of Georgia and Auburn OVTs.⁷

PHY 491 W3FE PRODUCED 194 POUNDS PER ACRE MORE

 than the leading competitor in the irrigated University of Georgia OVT, where PHY 491 W3FE topped the trial at 2,434 pounds per acre.⁸

The yield advantage is real. The win rates speak for themselves.

FROM THE FIELD

Josh McCormick, Georgia

For Georgia grower Josh McCormick, the switch to PhytoGen was simple: "The reason we switched to PhytoGen varieties is for yield. They outyield other competitor varieties and make us more money."

With root-knot nematode resistance, he says his operation has changed dramatically. "We no longer had to worry about the root-knot nematodes, and it changed how we farm."

Instead of chasing yield losses with additional fertilizer, Josh says healthier root systems have allowed his team to focus on optimizing plant populations, fertility, and overall crop management.

"PhytoGen has allowed us to break through what we thought was our top-end yield potential. Switching to PhytoGen cottonseed has been a gamechanger for our farm.”

Dobbins Cosby, Alabama

For central Alabama grower Dobbins Cosby, strong dryland cotton starts at planting and finishes at the gin. The early-season vigor of PhytoGen cottonseed lets him plant about 27,000 seeds per acre — roughly 20% less than typical for his area — and still get a clean stand.

"With the vigor of PhytoGen cottonseed, you can plant less seed per acre — that's savings up front," Cosby said. "PhytoGen varieties come up. We had a really bad start with weather this year, and I didn't have to replant any PhytoGen."

That vigor pays off again at harvest. In 2024, most of his acres went to PhytoGen® brand PHY 411 W3FE, and even after the rain shut off in late July, the crop held on.

"The last rain we got was late July, but the PhytoGen varieties set the crop and held on through harvest," Cosby said. "The county average was about 800 pounds, and PHY 411 W3FE yielded 1,025 pounds per acre. PhytoGen cotton will make good in a bad year, and it will make even better in a good year."

Shep Morris Jr., Alabama

Southeast cotton production demands varieties that can perform through unpredictable weather, diverse soil types, and heavy nematode pressure. Alabama cotton grower Shep Morris Jr. says that's exactly what he gets with PhytoGen® cottonseed.

"We get consistency with PhytoGen varieties," he says. "The seedling vigor helps us get the stand right the first time, and the resilience to weather extremes and nematodes keeps those varieties producing good base yields."

YIELD UNDER PRESSURE

Most farms in the Southeast have them — acres that just don't keep up. You've got soil fertility right. You've got the seeding rate and plant growth regulator application right. But those acres never hit their potential.

Most of the time, the problem isn't your crop management. It's what's hiding in the soil. Root-knot nematodes (RKN) and reniform (REN) nematodes are invisible yield robbers.

A University of Georgia statewide survey of nearly 1,800 cotton fields found that 70% of Georgia cotton fields were infested with at least one potentially damaging plant-parasitic nematode.¹

And those high populations impact yield: In 2025, reniform and root-knot nematodes continued to be the leading cause of yield loss among all cotton pathogens in the United States. Together, these two species accounted for a combined loss of 786,273 bales — with Georgia and Alabama consistently among the hardest-hit states.²

PhytoGen was the first to market with cottonseed varieties offering both RKN and REN resistance and now offers more of these varieties than any other cottonseed brand.

The proof is in the dirt. From 2019 to 2021, PhytoGen brand varieties with REN-resistance cut REN numbers by an average of 66% across 25 Southeast locations — and by nearly 90% in some fields. Cleaner fields, stronger yields — now that's a reason to plant PhytoGen.

Chris Hill, who farms with his family in Twiggs County, Georgia, has seen the yield gains PhytoGen^® brand varieties with REN resistance can deliver firsthand. On his acres, PhytoGen^® brand PHY 411 W3FE yielded 1,600 lb/A for him — with no nematicide treatments.

“That’s better than we could yield with the competitive varieties plus nematicides, and I saved $100 an acre on crop protection,” Hill said. “We’re making more money with PhytoGen. That’s the bottom line.”

John Ruark, who also grows cotton in Georgia, had a similar experience after trying varieties from several brands.

“The PhytoGen varieties with nematode resistance yielded 400 pounds better than everything else,” he said. “Since then, we’ve switched to PhytoGen varieties, and they have been proven leaders on our farm.”

FIGHT NEMATODES

Warm, humid conditions across the Southeast can create an ideal environment for bacterial blight. Left unchecked, the disease can reduce yields by up to 20% in heavily infested fields³ — and there's no in-season spray to stop it. Every PhytoGen^® W3FE variety includes built-in bacterial blight resistance, bringing you peace of mind and protecting your yield potential.

STOP BLIGHT

Early season vigor is a PhytoGen trademark, with varieties that establish stands quickly, canopy fast, and compete hard from emergence through cutout. In Georgia and Alabama, where cool soils, thrips, and disease pressure can challenge young cotton, a strong start matters.

"If somebody were to ask me why to grow PhytoGen cottonseed, I would first point to seeding vigor, the ability to get that stand the first time." Shep Morris Georgia Cotton Grower
