The two benchmark cotton varieties, PhytoGen 72, the benchmark for Acala cotton, and PhytoGen 800, its Pima cousin, are in short supply with the company and will no longer be offered once supplies are exhausted. For the PHY800, this could be more important, according to DOW spokesman Fred Rehrman, because it has continued to be popular with some growers. But this should not hamper growers as varieties with advanced technologies have long been available.
