4 PHY 367 WRF Early maturing, WideStrike and Roundup Ready Flex Excellent early seedling vigor Compact plant structure Determinate growth habit = less intensive PGR mangt. Root knot nematode tolerance GENERAL AGRONOMICS Pubescence: Semi-smooth Seedling vigor: Excellent Seed/lb: ~5,500 Fruiting habit: Determinate Plant type: Compact - med. ht Nodes (total/1 st fruit/tot. fruit): 20.6/6.1/11 PLACEMENT Irrigated sandy soils Good fit in a corn/cotton rotation Avg. Above avg fiber package Mic Length Unif Strength

5 PHY 499 WRF Mid maturity, WideStrike and Roundup Ready Flex Exceptionally high yielding / Above average turnout / Good fiber Aggressive growth, greater than PHY 375 WRF Replacement for PHY 485 WRF Very stable and consistent Large 2011 increases = good supply in 2012 VERY LIMITED SEED SUPPLY IN 2011 PHY 499 WRF was included in 2010 University OVT s. PHY 499 WRF will be included in 2011 University OVT s Providing 2 years of 3 rd party data to aid in 2012 positioning.

6 PHY 565 WRF Mid-full maturity, WideStrike and Roundup Ready Flex Begin pix management at 9-10 nodes, monitor as needed throughout season based on environment. Can surpass PHY 375 WRF in plant height, which typically occurs late season. GENERAL AGRONOMICS Pubescence: Semi-smooth Seedling vigor: good Fruiting habit: Indet.-upright Plant type: Med-Tall, Open Nodes (1 st fruit/tot. fruit): 5.8/12 PLACEMENT Silt loam to Sharkey clay Irrigation good on poor clay soil Good excellent fiber package Mic Length Unif Strength

7 PHY 569 WRF Mid-full maturity, WideStrike and Roundup Ready Flex ~ 3-5 days later than PHY 565 WRF Begin pix management at 9-10 nodes, monitor as needed throughout season based on environment. High yielding targeted for a FULL season market. GENERAL AGRONOMICS Pubescence: Semi-smooth Seedling vigor: good Seed/lb: ~ 4,960 Fruiting habit: Indet.-upright Plant type: Med-Tall, open Nodes (total/1 st fruit/tot. fruit): 22.4/6.6/12.2 PLACEMENT WORKHORSE Can go on dryland clay Above average fiber Mic Length Unif Strength

8 Transform Insecticide: A New Option for Tarnished Plant Bug Control in Cotton Dow AgroSciences LLC LATMC, Alexandria, LA, 2011 TM Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC.

9 Background Sulfoxaflor is a member of a new chemical class of insecticides: Sulfoximines Discovered by and proprietary to Dow AgroSciences Sulfoxaflor is targeted for global development in all major crop groups Insecticide Class: Sulfoximine STATUS: ISO 1750 (provisionally approved) IUPAC: [methyl(oxo){1-[6-(trifluoromethyl)-3- pyridyl]ethyl}-λ 6 -sulfanylidene]cyanamide CAS: N-[methyloxido[1-[6-(trifluoromethyl)-3- pyridinyl]ethyl]-λ 4 -sulfanylidene]cyanamide REG. NO.: FORMULA: C 10 H 10 F 3 N 3 OS CF 3 N O S NCN TM Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC.

10 Sulfoxaflor Attributes Broad Sap-feeding spectrum Active on aphids, plant bugs, whiteflies, planthoppers, scales and other sap-feeders Effective at low use rates Fast acting, with extended residual control Will be a valuable rotational partner with other chemistries Spectrum & properties suggest excellent fit in IPM programs Effective on insect populations resistant to a variety of other insecticides Exhibits good formulation flexibility 2 lb/gal SC and 50% WG formulations anticipated TM Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC.

11 Sulfoxaflor (Transform 50WDG) U.S. Cotton (2012 anticipated registration) Anticipated use rates (per application) for key Mid-south pests: 0.75 oz oz product per acre lbs ai per acre Flexibility to use higher rates ( 2.75 oz/app) Aphids at lower end of rate range Plant bugs at upper end of rate range Photo courtesy Winfield Sterling, Texas A&M University Photo courtesy Winfield Sterling, Texas A&M University TM Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC.

12 Tarnished Plant Bug Summary: lb ai/a (1.5 oz pr/a): - Minimum rate providing the most robust control. - Knockdown: 2-5 d after application. - Residual: 7 d after application. Knockdown and residual demonstrated after: - 1 application in lower levels of infestation. - 2 applications in higher levels of infestation. Sulfoxaflor protects cotton yield.
