Clubroot Resistant Trait Technology
When it comes to clubroot, Pioneer® brand is a generation ahead.
Industry-Leading Clubroot Resistance.
“1st generation clubroot protection” is no longer sufficient, Pioneer® brand “CR” clubroot designation offers protection to ALL predominate clubroot races.
Competitor products still rely heavily on outdated 1st generation clubroot genetics, leaving growers at risk of clubroot outbreaks.
Pioneer® brand “CR” designated genetics offer high yield and agronomic improvements without sacrificing clubroot resistance.
By 2027, there will be no Pioneer® brand canola hybrids that relies on CR1 clubroot genetics
Coverage
- For clubroot affected customers, Pioneer® brand offers a full spectrum of choices depending on clubroot pathotypes present.
- Multiple resistance sources to ensure that growers can rotate major genes and extend the lifespan of hybrid options.
- For non-clubroot affected customers, resistance level can prolong low levels of spore production to reduce outbreak on their farms. (Transition before you need to)
Yield Performance
- Yield is the driving factor for on-farm profitability, clubroot resistance is intended to maintain yield potential, but alone will not contribute to success.
- Yield is #1, but cannot be maximized under disease pressure.
- Other manufacturers struggle to integrate leading sources of resistance without affecting yield performance. Pioneer® brand is a leader in integrating disease traits while maintaining optimal performance.
Leadership
- Clubroot affected customers cannot sustainably grow canola without Pioneer® brand driving the leading edge of resistance.
- Overall level of resistance within the industry would be lagging without Pioneer® brand driving forward and offering new solutions. (Ex: # of CR1 products still existing today)
- The best way to control an outbreak is to get ahead of the pathotypes shift, Pioneer® brand has a leading strategy for both today and through the next 5-10 years to ensure stability of resistance.
