Hancock of Slaton, Texas will be slightly lower this planting
season after winning a
Delta and Pine Land Company Boll Box™ containing the D&PL
variety of his choice treated with AVICTA® Complete Pak seed
treatment.
The giveaway was part of a joint
seed and seed treatment promotion by Delta and Pine Land Company
(D&PL), the nation’s leading provider of cotton planting seed,
and Syngenta Crop Protection, which developed and markets AVICTA
Complete Pak seed treatment. Hancock, who farms cotton in Crosby
County, Texas near the Robertson Community, will take his Boll
Box with DP 164 B2RF, a mid-full maturity variety from D&PL.
Hancock’s name was randomly
selected from participants who responded to a mailing regarding
leading D&PL cotton varieties and the AVICTA Complete Pak, which
is a promotional combination comprised of AVICTA nematicide,
Cruiser® insecticide and Dynasty® CST fungicide seed treatments.
“D&PL and our seed treatment
partner Syngenta Crop Protection are happy to award Mr. Hancock
a Boll Box of treated seed, which amounts to 38 bags of seed,”
said Matt Vaughn, Regional Sales Manager for West Texas.
With DP 164 B2RF, Hancock gets the industry-leading insect and
weed control technologies in a variety with proven high-yield
potential in the Texas High Plains. With AVICTA Complete Pak
seed treatment, he gets a breakthrough method of effectively and
conveniently managing nematodes, insects and diseases, promoting
vigorous and healthy cotton seedlings, setting the stage for
improved yield potential.
Hancock, who also intends to plant
the D&PL varieties DP 117 B2RF and DP 143 B2RF this year, said
he has planted D&PL cotton varieties with success for several
years.
