Mycogen Seeds is pleased to announce the release of a new
canola variety in its 2008 lineup. The latest addition to the
canola lineup — Nex 845 CL — is adapted for the mid- and
long-season zones, offering good early season vigor and very
good standability.
“Mycogen Seeds is very excited to
offer this new canola variety. This product offers growers
additional high-yield options to complement their production
program,” says Keith Porter, Marketing Specialist, Mycogen
Seeds.
Nex 845 CL is a medium-height variety with very good yield
potential and a strong disease package, with an “MR” rating for
blackleg and an “R” rating for fusarium wilt.
This new Mycogen® brand canola
variety will protect yields with the latest advancement in trait
technology and a powerful seed treatment. CLEARFIELD® technology
makes the Nexera® canola variety tolerant to Beyond® herbicide,
providing growers with cost-effective, broad-spectrum grass and
broadleaf weed control. Helix XTra™ seed-applied insecticide
protects germinating seed from flea beetles and a broad spectrum
of diseases, including seed rot, damping-off, seedling blight,
root rot and seed-borne blackleg.
“We’re pleased to provide growers
with another top-performing canola variety that will best meet
producer needs,” Porter adds.
