It is reported that this is the first bivalent transgenic insect-resistant hybrid cotton in Jiangsu Province. Tests show that it has strong resistance to common pests such as Helicoverpa armigera and red bollworm. According to experts, at present, insect-resistant cotton in the Yangtze River Basin in China generally has only a single insect-resistant gene-"BT insect-resistant gene", while Suza 3 not only contains the above genes, but also has "C"

Suza 3, a new cotton product jointly selected by the Economic Research Institute of Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other units, has been successfully developed and approved by the national new variety in Jiangsu Province a few days ago. It is reported that this is the first bivalent transgenic insect-resistant hybrid cotton in Jiangsu province. Tests show that it has strong resistance to common pests such as Helicoverpa armigera and red bollworm.

According to experts, at present, insect-resistant cotton in the Yangtze River valley in China generally has only a single insect-resistant gene-"BT insect-resistant gene", while Suza 3 not only contains the above genes, but also has "CPTI insect-resistant gene", which is like double insurance for cotton, its insect-resistant performance is stronger and wider, and its persistence is better. Experts believe that the breeding of Suza 3 is a major breakthrough in the field of cotton breeding in Jiangsu Province and has a high prospect of popularization and application.
