Win in lentils and wheat

Overrule early season weeds by applying Focus® herbicide with glyphosate before lentils or wheat. Powerful burnoff tackles tough broadleafs like kochia, cleavers and lamb’s-quarters.

Developing pulse varieties for better resilience to climate change

Researchers are interested in identifying new traits that would contribute to developing improved pulse varieties that would be better adapted to changes in climate and improve disease resistance. That's why they have initiated a long-term project to study root traits and dynamics in pulses, an area that is not as well understood as above-ground canopy dynamics. Larger root systems have the potential to improve drought tolerance, carbon sequestration and root rot resistance in pulses. » Read More...
