Clubroot Resistant Trait Technology
Keep your fields protected from clubroot with our advanced clubroot-resistant seed technology.
Industry-Leading Clubroot Resistance
Since its initial discovery near Edmonton in 2003, Clubroot has spread throughout Western Canada with new virulent pathotypes being found annually. The use of Clubroot-resistant (CR) canola hybrids has been key in managing the disease and continues to be an essential tool in reducing the spread. Even if clubroot has not been found in a field, clubroot hybrids are proven to reduce the risk of disease establishment. Whatever your clubroot risk, our industry-leading seed technology will keep your operation protected.
The Most Resistant Sources
We were the first company to commercialize clubroot-resistant canola hybrids in the Canadian market. Through our multi-year process of identifying new CR gene sources and developing new CR hybrids, we now have a portfolio of products offered through our seed brands with the most sources of resistance in the industry.
Local Breeding & Testing
Our canola is bred and tested at our 5 research centres across Canada to ensure top performance on Western Canadian farms. Our Research and Development teams work in constant collaboration with leading public and academic bodies, so we stay at the cutting-edge of clubroot technology.

Corteva Agriscience™ canola products offer built-in resistance to clubroot and other key Prairie diseases like Sclerotinia and blackleg along with solid agronomics like high-yield potential, excellent standability and harvestability, so you can choose the product that works best for you.
