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Competitor products still rely heavily on outdated 1st generation clubroot genetics, leaving growers at risk of clubroot outbreaks.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

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 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.
