6 CANOLA GROWING ZONES

Yield results presented in graphs are grouped by canola growing zones used by Canadian Canola Council in Canola Performance Trials (CPTs). These zones are based on typical frost-free days, heat-unit accumulation, soil, and geographic location, and bring additional information to growers to determine variety selection. Table A: Season Zones

7 Industry-leading genetic defense against Blackleg, Sclerotinia, and Clubroot.

DefendR™ DEFENDR™ GENETIC TRAITS

NEW FOR 2017. BrettYoung is proud to introduce the DefendR trait platform as part of an active disease management strategy. The DefendR designation is used to signal exceptional genetic resistance or tolerance to the big 3 disease complexes affecting canola: Sclerotinia, Clubroot and Blackleg.

DefendR is reserved for use only on BrettYoung varieties that deliver significantly above industry-average levels of genetic resistance or tolerance to one or more of the prominent canola diseases. It is our nod to the strength of the breeding program with our primary canola partner, DL Seeds, and a promise to canola growers that they are purchasing a variety that has leading genetics for disease management in a canola hybrid with exceptional yield potential.

Disease Minimum Resistance Level Varieties Resistance Trait

Improved Tolerance (IT) 6074 RR to Sclerotinia Stem Rot 6076 CR

6090 RR* Multi-genic resistance to 6076 CR Blackleg, strong R rating 5545 CL

Resistant to Clubroot pathotypes (2, 3, 6086 CR 5, 6, and 8) and intermediate or 6076 CR greater resistance to pathotype 5x

*Name pending registration 9 DEFENDR™ SCLEROTINIA

For growers wanting to further reduce the impact of this disease, BrettYoung’s DefendR Sclerotinia tolerance trait is built-in on both the 6074 RR and 6076 CR hybrids. Screening and testing results for both these varieties demonstrate improved tolerance superior to susceptible checks using industry-approved testing protocol.

The DefendR trait in 6074 RR and 6076 CR provides Sclerotinia tolerance at levels that:

• Reduce the impacts of infection and reduce yield loss whenever disease pressure is present

• Allow for greater flexibility in fungicide application timing when flowering is uneven and staggered which otherwise makes fungicide application timing difficult

• Reduce the impact of Sclerotinia in long-flowering crops where the window of fungicide protection has lapsed

10 DEFENDR™ BLACKLEG

Blackleg has come back into the spotlight as a disease that is evolving and making a strong resurgence in intensive canola production areas. Most agree that managing this disease requires a combination of rotation, crop management including regular field scouting and proper variety selection as important factors to reducing the impact of this disease.

The DefendR Blackleg trait means the BrettYoung canola variety is rated as a strong R for Blackleg resistance. It also means that the variety incorporates multiple major genes to defend against multiple strains of Blackleg. DefendR Blackleg varieties achieve a broader level of resistance compared to competitive R- rated varieties that have either no or only one major gene for Blackleg resistance.

11 DEFENDR™ CLUBROOT

Previously considered a primarily Central Alberta issue, Clubroot has now been identified in all three Prairie provinces. In 2013, a new Clubroot pathotype was identified in Alberta as the canola varieties up to that time thought to be Clubroot resistant were exhibiting high levels of infection. New pathotypes have since been identified in several areas.

The DefendR Clubroot trait is resistant to all previously identified pathotypes (2, 3, 5, 6, & 8) but also has intermediate resistance or better to the recently identified 5x pathotype. BrettYoung will continue to commercialize DefendR -rated Clubroot resistant genetics coupled to high yielding, high performance varieties.
