Premium Fiber Quality

Over a decade ago, the first Deltapine® New Product Evaluator test plot took root with the Class of 08, marking just the beginning of improved fiber quality. Today, Deltapine offers products with premium fiber quality to help our growers continue to prosper.

Strong Cotton. Getting Stronger.

Premium fiber quality is one of the Deltapine four pillars of excellence that help us deliver the strongest cotton for your region. Since the Class of 08, the average fiber strength and length of Deltapine® cotton varieties have trended upward for improved profitability potential every season — culminating in the introduction of Deltapine Select™ varieties, which offer the best yield and fiber quality potential in our portfolio.
