NEW: Clearfield XCEED Canola
The first ever herbicide-tolerant
Brassica juncea, XCEED delivers increased stress tolerance to frost, heat and drought. XCEED canola is expanding the boundaries where canola can grow. And their pod-shatter resistance allows you to straight cut without swathing for harvest efficiency.
Three varieties, each with good yield potential and stress tolerance, will be available from Viterra for the 2010 season:
- 8571 will have full availability.
- 8570 and 8470 will have limited availability
SOLO®, ODYSSEY® and EQUINOX® herbicides are registered for use on XCEED canola.
