Cotton Varieties Planted, United States
2003 Crop
The Deltapine brand of upland cottonseed was the most popular planted in the United States for the 2003-2004
season, according to the USDA, Agricultural Marketing Service’s Cotton Program. The Paymaster brand was the
second most popular followed by Bayer CropScience Fibermax, Stoneville, Sure-Grow, All-Tex, Phytogen, and
CPCSD.
Transgenic varieties - genetically engineered varieties resistant to worms, herbicides, or both - accounted for about
76 percent of the upland cotton planted in the United States in 2003. This was down about one percentage point
from the 2002 crop and about two percentage points from the 2001 crop. Usage of transgenic varieties in 2003
varied from a high of 100 percent in Florida to a low of 42 percent in California. Texas producers planted
transgenic varieties to 56 percent of their 5.8 million cotton acres.
Deltapine brand varieties were the most popular planted in 2003, accounting for 33.0 percent of the United States
acreage. This brand accounted for 69.8 percent of the acreage planted in the southeastern states (Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia). It accounted for 29.6 percent of the acreage planted in the
south central states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee), 16.6 percent in the southwestern
states (Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas), and 25.7 percent of the acreage planted in the western states (Arizona,
California, and New Mexico). Deltapine’s most popular varieties were DP 555 BG/RR, DP 451 B/RR, DP 458
B/RR, DP 5415RR, and DP 436 RR, accounting respectively for 8.7, 6.5, 4.6, 3.0, and 1.9 percent of the U.S.
cotton acreage.
Paymaster brand varieties were the second most popular planted in 2003, accounting for 21.3 percent of the United
States acreage. These varieties accounted for 3.1 percent of the acreage planted in the southeastern states, 19.4
percent in the south central states, 35.1 percent in the southwestern states, and 0.2 percent in the western states.
The most popular Paymaster varieties were PM 1218 BG/RR, PM 2326 RR, PM 2379 RR, and Paymaster HS 26,
accounting respectively for 5.9, 4.3, 1.9, and 1.9 percent of the U.S. acreage.
Bayer CropScience Fibermax brand varieties were the third most poplar planted in 2003, accounting for 15.6
percent of the United States acreage. They accounted for 7.8 percent of the acreage planted in the southeastern
states, 5.2 percent of the acreage in the south central states, 28.0 percent in the southwestern states, and 1.3 percent
in the western states. The most popular Bayer CropScience Fibermax varieties were FM 958, FM 832, FM 989BR
and FM 989RR, accounting respectively for 4.5, 3.1, 2.3, and 2.1 percent of the United States acreage planted to
cotton.
Stoneville brand varieties were the fourth most popular planted in 2003. These varieties accounted for 13.6 percent
of the acreage planted. They accounted for 8.8 percent of the acreage planted in the southeastern states, 33.8
percent of the acreage in the south central states, 5.0 percent in the southwestern states, and 5.1 percent in the
western states. The most popular Stoneville varieties were ST 4892BR and ST 4793R, accounting respectively for
7.9 and 2.2 percent of the United States acreage planted to cotton.
Suregrow brand varieties were the next most popular and accounted for 5.4 percent of the U.S. acreage planted in
2003. All-Tex varieties, planted primarily in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, were the sixth most popular and
accounted for 3.1 percent of the 2003 cotton acreage.
Phytogen was the most popular brand of American Pima planted in 2003. Phytogen variety PHY 76 Pima
accounted for 56.4 percent of the United States Pima acreage and was the most popular variety planted in
California (67.5 percent of California Pima acreage). Deltapine’s DP 744 Pima was the second most-planted
American Pima variety and accounted for 15.4 percent of the U.S. crop. Deltapine’s DP 340 Pima was the next
most popular variety and accounted for 11.8 percent of the U.S. Pima acreage. The most popular Pima variety in
