Updated every two weeks, the link
features photos of DP 555 BG/RR plants growing on Thomas
Bruton’s Nitta Yuma, Miss., farm, accompanied by detailed input
and agronomic information.
"DP 555 BG/RR is the first of a
new generation of products entering the marketplace today as a
result of Delta and Pine Land’s worldwide breeding and testing
program," said Jim Willeke, vice president of sales and
marketing. "We suggest that growers and consultants find a field
of DP 555 BG/RR in their area to view this breakthrough variety
personally. But, for those who can’t visit a field site, the
Website is the next best thing."
A mid- to full-season variety, DP
555 BG/RR has performed exceptionally well in variety tests the
past two years and has captured the attention of researchers, ag
media and producers.
"The web page is a novel way to
experience the life cycle of the product, from planting through
the vigorous growth cycle to payout at harvest time," Willeke
said.
The web page, along with other
useful agronomic and variety information, can be found at
