Growing registered canola varieties is an important way to assure Canada’s export customers that the oil and meal quality, biotech traits and disease resistance in the Canadian canola supply meets their requirements.
To mitigate risk, do not seed any deregistered canola varieties and do not deliver seed produced from them to an elevator or grain handler. Doing so could risk market acceptance of one of Canada’s most important field crops.
Registered varieties also include agronomic advantages, as deregistered varieties often lack critical disease resistance genetics, such as clubroot resistance.
