Americot
Cotton farmers can look forward to two new NexGen varieties from Americot, both of which are Bollgard 3 XtendFlex Technology (B3XF) and have demonstrated impressive performance in university and Extension trials for the past two years.
NG 4611 B3XF. This medium-maturity variety has excellent seedling vigor and aggressive early-season growth. It produces a tall plant and, with good plant growth regulator (PGR) management, forms a wide boxy canopy. The variety has a long staple and high turnout percentage, and has consistently demonstrated strong yields in the South, Delta, Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions.
NG 4626 B3XF. This medium-maturing, medium-to-tall plant responds well to PGR management. It adapts well across the Cotton Belt, has excellent heat tolerance and produces a strong terminal and boll load with a stormproof boll type. This variety boasts great yield potential, high turnout and excellent fiber quality.
“These new varieties were in both small-plot university trials and in our large-scale on-farm Americot ACE trials in 2025, and the results were the same,” said Robert Lemon, Americot product development manager. “They simply outperformed the competition.”
