DP 2020 B3XF
A variety that has a true early-mid maturity with a really good fiber package and excellent fiber length with great potential across the Cotton Belt.
Proven Performance Across the Cotton Belt
While DP 2020 B3XF can be adapted across all soil types, this variety had an excellent showing in the Mid-South, Southeast, East and South Texas.
After extensive development and testing at our Lubbock breeding research facility and real-world evaluation as part of our New Product Evaluator (NPE) Program, DP 2020 B3XF brings improved yield potential (as compared to DP 1725 B2XF) and Bollgard® 3 XtendFlex® technology to Texas, the Mid-South and the Far West.
