Highlights of Pioneer Canola Research:Hybrid Development - Pioneer continues to put tremendous effort into the development of canola hybrids. The goal is to develop high-performing canola hybrids that improve customer profitability.
Wide-Area Testing - Each year, to measure performance of experimental products in many different environments, Pioneer canola researchers plant more than 70,000 yield test plots in five countries. Thousands of new crosses are made each year to assure a steady flow of elite products with a package of traits that fit customer needs.
Herbicide Resistance - Pioneer canola researchers are developing varieties with resistance to herbicides that give customers more cost-effective and efficacious options for weed control.
Disease Resistance - Laboratory and field researchers work together to improve canola's resistance to disease pressures such as blackleg, Sclerotinia and white rust. Pioneer field pathologists and molecular biology specialists are making important progress in these areas.
Specialty Canola - Pioneer researchers are leading the way in developing canola seed suitable for the specialty and identity-preserved markets. Seed products have been developed with lower levels of saturated and polyunsaturated fats, and higher levels of monounsaturated fat. Researchers are also developing Brassica juncea varieties and hybrids, which are adapted to hotter and dryer environments than canola.
