 PROFILE
Delta and Pine Land (D&PL) is the top seed in the cottonseed game. The nation's leading cottonseed producer, the company also breeds, produces, and sells soybean seed. D&PL is staking its business on breeding programs and biotechnology to develop cottonseed with improved crop yield and fiber traits. Together with Monsanto (now part of Pharmacia), it has developed herbicide-tolerant (Roundup Ready) cotton and soybeans, as well as pest-resistant (Bollgard) cottonseed. D&PL is researching the controversial "terminator" gene, which germinates once and would necessitate annual seed purchases. D&PL's cotton varieties are grown in Arizona and east of Texas.
