Yield, Yield, Yield: Examining the Power of Modern Trait Development

Modern trait development is changing the lives of growers like never before. Whether it’s advancements like clubroot resistant canola or hybrid hemp, companies like Corteva Agriscience and Verve Seeds are pushing boundaries in terms of what’s possible in the field.

On next week’s Seed Speaks, we’ll hear from representatives of both companies who will talk about the game-changing advancements that are resulting from some of their unique technologies that recently made Germination magazine’s Top Most Innovative Products listing for 2022.

After being the first to deliver clubroot resistance to growers, Corteva Agriscience continues to provide new genetic tools for management of clubroot in canola. With each consecutive release of new CR packages, new gene(s) and gene combinations provide protection against predominant pathotypes in Western Canada while simultaneously offering resistance gene rotation options.

The latest CR packages released, CR4 and CR5, offer clubroot resistance gene stacks in various herbicide segments. CR4 delivers a new resistance gene in an effective clubroot stack in multiple herbicide segments. CR5 delivers new genes within a clubroot triple stack of a Clearfield herbicide tolerant hybrid.

These options provide excellent yield, great agronomics and robust management resistance genetics of clubroot on farm while promoting CR genetics stewardship.

The first true F1 industrial hemp grain hybrid developed and commercialized in Canada and quite possible a first in the world, T3H2006 is a grain hybrid with increased content of cannabidiol (CBD) and was developed by Verve Seed Solutions and Farmers Business Network.
