Strong Varieties. Strong Protection.
Deltapine® brand sets the bar on cotton yield performance in Bollgard® 3 ThryvOn® cotton with XtendFlex® Technology (B3TXF) varieties and has a solid portfolio of products for planting.
ThryvOn® Technology for cotton provides built-in protection against key tarnished plant bugs and thrips species and can be a game changer for growers. With fewer thrips feeding on the young plants, crops can emerge healthier and often reach pinhead square faster.*
ThryvOn Technology for cotton also helps suppress plant bugs, potentially delaying threshold buildup and reducing the number of sprays needed. With a 6.1% increase in square retention, ThryvOn Technology helps plants reach their yield potential.**
In the tough growing conditions of South Texas, ThryvOn Technology for cotton protects the crop from plant bugs, according to Brian Braswell, who farms near Raymondville, Texas.
“When I go harvesting grain, you can see plant bugs splatting all over the windshield,” said Braswell. “They are moving into the cotton, and I just cannot spray for them every day when the pressure gets heavy. The ThryvOn Technology is the only thing that helps us make a top crop in those fields.”
Rich Williams, who farms near Suffolk, Virginia, enjoys the peace of mind the technology provides him.
“When I plant my cotton, I know the thrips are going to stay off of it and that it has some activity on plant bugs,” he said. “Sometimes, plant bugs will move into a field after you have scouted it, and I think that is where ThryvOn shines. It gives you peace of mind that the plant is still holding on to its fruit. The technology is not foolproof, but it is a tool in the bag that you need to use.”
All Deltapine cotton varieties are evaluated and proven to perform in the New Product Evaluator (NPE) Program before they are put in a Deltapine bag and sold for commercial planting.

And new in the Class of ’25 are two outstanding cotton varieties to try:
- DP 2537 B3TXF is a mid- to full-maturity variety that demonstrated outstanding yield potential in the 2024 NPE plots and will be the latest maturing B3TXF product in the Deltapine lineup targeted to the lower Mid-South and upper Southeast markets.
- DP 2522NR B3TXF is an early- to mid-maturity variety offering resistance to both reniform nematodes and bacterial blight. In 2024 NPE plots, this variety demonstrated stable yield performance potential on reniform nematode-infested fields across its targeted markets of the Coastal Bend of South Texas, the lower Mid-South and the Southeast.

*Scouting is critical to determine which and how many insecticide applications are recommended to avoid economic loss greater than pest management costs (i.e., when economic thresholds are met). Check with your local state extension university for the latest spraying recommendations.

No dicamba may be used in-crop with seed with Roundup Ready® Xtend Technology, unless and until approved or specifically permitted, and no dicamba formulations are currently registered for such use in the 2025 season. Please follow www.roundupreadyxtend.com/pages/xtendimax-updates.aspx for status updates. Dicamba may harm crops that are not tolerant to dicamba. Performance may vary, from location to location and from year to year, as local growing, soil and environmental conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible and should consider the impacts of these conditions on their growing environment. The recommendations in this material are based upon trial observations and feedback received from a limited number of growers and growing environments. These recommendations should be considered as one reference point and should not be substituted for the professional opinion of agronomists, entomologists or other relevant experts evaluating specific conditions. Trials compare germplasm performance; input and trial management decisions determined by grower establishing the applicable trial.
