Stoneville Pedigreed Seed Company

Stoneville Pedigreed Seed Company is a leading developer of high-performance cotton seeds and advanced genetic traits, primarily serving the North American agricultural market. Founded in 1922 in Stoneville, Mississippi, the company has established a century-long legacy in cotton breeding, focusing on varieties that offer high yield potential and superior fiber properties. Its product portfolio integrates cutting-edge biotechnology, including traits for multi-mode insect resistance and tolerance to various herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, and dicamba. Following a complex history of ownership involving Monsanto and Bayer, Stoneville was acquired by BASF in 2018. Today, it operates as a flagship brand within BASF's Agricultural Solutions division, continuing to innovate in germplasm development and pest management technologies.
