End Date: May 31, 2010

Objective:
The objective of this agreement is to evaluate the effectiveness of experimental transgenic cotton lines developed by Bayer CropScience containing one or more transgenes for control of selected cotton insects.

Approach:
Selected cotton lines will be grown in field plots and artificially infested with cotton pest species larvae and also grown in plots free of these larvae. Data will be collected to assess the effectiveness of the cotton lines for control of the primary target pests. The various cotton lines will also be evaluated for their agronomic and fiber approaches.
