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.
