Clubroot Resistant Trait Technology

When it comes to clubroot, Corteva Agriscience™ is a generation ahead. 

Industry-Leading Clubroot Resistance.

“1st generation clubroot protection” is no longer sufficient, Corteva Agriscience™ “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Competitor products still rely heavily on outdated 1st generation clubroot genetics, leaving growers at risk of clubroot outbreaks.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 Corteva Agriscience™ canola hybrids that relies on CR1 clubroot genetics

Coverage

clubroot in canola
  • For clubroot affected customers, Corteva Agriscience™ 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. Corteva Agriscience™ is a leader in integrating disease traits while maintaining optimal performance.

Leadership

Leadership Icon
  • Clubroot affected customers cannot sustainably grow canola without Corteva Agriscience™ driving the leading edge of resistance.
  • Overall level of resistance within the industry would be lagging without Corteva Agriscience™ 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, Corteva Agriscience™ has a leading strategy for both today and through the next 5-10 years to ensure stability of resistance.
