摘要

ST 3664R and NG 3969R are two new mid-season stormproof varieties that will be offered for sale by Emergent Genetics, Inc. in 2005. Both varieties contain the Roundup Readyr gene. They both offer very good to excellent seedling vigor and excellent yield potential, similar to that of ST 4793R. ST 3664R is slightly earlier than ST 4793R, while NG 3969R is not significantly different in maturity from ST 4793R. Consequently, the varieties should be well suited to production in the High Plains from Plainview-south, in all of the Rolling Plains of Texas and in southwestern Oklahoma. Both varieties have storm resistance equal to or better than PM 2326 RR. ST 3664R has base fiber and will be targeted for lower input acres, while NG 3969R has excellent fiber and will be targeted for higher input production acres.
