IMPORTANT: Information and ratings are based on comparisons with other Pioneer® brand products, not competitive products. Information and ratings are assigned by Pioneer Agronomists and Research Managers, based on average performance across area of adaptation under normal conditions, over a wide range of both climate and soil types, and may not predict future results. Product responses are variable and subject to any number of environmental, disease and pest pressures. Please use this information as only part of your product positioning decision. Refer to pioneer.com/Canada or contact a Pioneer sales professional for the latest and most complete listing of traits and scores for each Pioneer brand product and for product placement and management suggestions specific to your operation and local conditions.
1 HERBICIDE TOLERANT TRAIT: Hybrids with the Roundup Ready® gene (RR) are tolerant to labelled rates of Roundup® branded herbicides. This technology allows for post-emergent applications of Roundup without crop injury or stress (see herbicide label). Labelled Roundup herbicide should only be used over the top of those hybrids and varieties that carry the Roundup Ready designation. Roundup Ready® is a registered trademark of the Bayer Group.
Hybrids with the LibertyLink® gene (LL) are resistant to Liberty® herbicide. Liberty®, LibertyLink® and the Water Droplet Design are trademarks of BASF.
HYBRIDS WITH THE CLEARFIELD® TRAIT (CL) are tolerant to labeled rates of Beyond®, Odyssey® or Absolute® herbicides. This technology allows for post-emergent applications of these herbicides without crop injury or stress (see herbicide label). Label herbicides should only be used over the top of those hybrids and varieties that contain the CLEARFIELD trait. The unique Clearfield symbol and Clearfield® are registered trademarks of BASF.
HYBRIDS WITH THE OPTIMUM® GLY TRAIT are tolerant to labeled rates of glyphosate herbicides. This technology allows for post-emergent applications of these herbicides without crop injury or stress (see herbicide label). Labeled herbicides should only be used over the top of those hybrids and varieties that contain the Optimum® GLY trait.
RATINGS: 9 = Excellent; 1 = Poor; Blank = Insufficient Data
2 MATURITY: 9 = Late; 6 = Medium; 5 = Medium-Early; 3 = Early; 1 = Very Early
3 POD SHATTER SCORE: 9 = Low risk of Shatter, 1 = High Risk of Shatter
4 CLUBROOT RESISTANCE: Shows different source of Clubroot resistance. CR1 is different from CR2; CR2 is different from CR3, etc
5 CLUBROOT: R =Resistant, S = Susceptible
6 BLACKLEG: R = Resistant; MR = Moderately Resistant; MS = Moderately Susceptible; S = Susceptible
7 BLACKLEG: 9 = Resistant; 1 = Susceptible
8 SCLEROTINIA: 9 = Highly Tolerant; 5 = Moderately Tolerant; 1 = Susceptible
9 FUSARIUM WILT: R = Resistant; S = Susceptible. Current Fusarium rating is provisional and based on limited data
10 VERTICILLIUM STRIPE: 9 = Resistant, 1 = Susceptible
11 EARLY GROWTH: 9 = Excellent, 1 = Poor. Early growth is recorded when plants are at 4-6 leaf stage. It is a subjective evaluation of healthiness of plants and the soil area covered by their leaves
12 GREEN SEED CONTENT: 9 = Very low count (desired); 1 = Very high count
13 STANDABILITY: 9 = upright (desired); 1 = Severely lodged
14 PLANT HEIGHT: 9 = Tall; 1 = Short (desired)
