With this innovation, BASF has combined the GM herbicide-resistant traits and three insect control traits into the best-in-class germplasm and native traits of Stoneville cotton. With Stoneville cotton powered by new Axant Flex technology, growers no longer have to face the tradeoff between weed control and yield potential and fiber quality to get the returns they are seeking. The germplasm of the selected seed varieties offers protection from root-knot and reniform nematodes, bacterial leaf blight resistance, Verticillium wilt tolerance and other key diseases.
