You NOW have greater choice of alternative herbicide tolerant options to manage weeds in your canola rotations.
The results are in
Effective weed control
Clearfield® and Roundup Ready® herbicide systems are both ideally suited to farming canola under minimum tillage. The benefits don’t stop at herbicide cost savings in the canola crop but carry over to reducing weed populations in crops following. By allowing growers to rotate their chemistry ensures that all herbicide options are effective when they need them to manage resistance issues and hard-to-kill weed species. The bottom line is yield potential and canola quality is protected.
Reap the benefits of early sowing
The ability to sow on time or to dry sow is critical as planting windows can close quickly. Early planting of canola results in better water use efficiency, higher yields and reduced risks of low oil content in canola.
Pioneer is as committed to YOUR success as you are. That’s why we are the leaders introducing alternative herbicide tolerant technologies to replace traditional triazine tolerant (TT) canola.
Proven Y series hybrids to boost your profits Simple and reliable weed control options Exceptional early vigour to boost crop establishment Higher confidence to sow your crop early ahead of weed emergence Greater flexibility to add canola in your crop rotations Cleaner canola fields without compromising oil yield A higher degree of safety for the environment and for you
Proven performance
Australian field trials1 and grower experience have quantified the yield penalty of triazine tolerant (TT) canola cultivars over the past decade. The advantage of Clearfield® and Roundup Ready® canola is real when it comes to more productivity and profit. On average, TT canola cultivars are 17.2% less in yield and over $200 per hectare less in gross income compared to Clearfield® and Roundup Ready® canola.
Reduced environmental impact
Australian environmental analysis2 have shown that canola produced using Clearfield® or Roundup Ready® technology systems was less than half the estimated environmental impact of triazine tolerant canola. These alternative systems offer sustainable weed control and cleaner waterways in our rural environment.

The Pioneer Product Advancement trial (PAT) program is Pioneer’s exclusive canola testing system. PAT is a key part of our aim to offer canola growers the right product for the right paddock. PAT compares the latest experimental products advanced from Pioneer’s small-plot replicated research trials with commercial Pioneer and competitor benchmarks.
What does it mean when we say Pioneer canola is ‘PAT proven’? PAT helps farmers the opportunity to evaluate new seed products through broadacre scale trials on your own farms. The PAT program allows commercial testing of new products using local management preferences. PAT cooperators use own equipment to harvest trials and weigh yields of each variety entry because your own experience is real. PAT tests new seed products for a minimum of two years over a wide range of key environments because yield decisions based on one trial can be misleading. PAT is designed to measure consistency and adaptation of new seed products covering every major growing zone. PAT proven means results in your paddock to ensure informed decisions are made before Pioneer commercially releases a new product.
PAT proven No other canola company offers the peace of mind of knowing it is PAT proven.

Clearfield® Canola Challenge
Clearfield® Canola Challenge
Because experience in your paddock is best If you’re like most growers, you’re sceptical of product claims and results from small-plot trials. And rightly so. The Clearfield® Challenge offered exclusively by BASF and Pioneer enables canola growers to trial Pioneer® brand seed products and the BASF Clearfield® production system on your own property and assess comparative performance against TT canola. Now in its fourth year, the Clearfield Challenge have shown the effectiveness of Intervix herbicide for broad spectrum weed control and the extra profits of this alternative system side-by-side and head-to-head in the same paddock. From multiple grower trial results and personal grower experience, the economic advantage is demonstrated. Of course you trust your own results! ®

A quicker maturing hybrid 44Y84 (CL) proved a good fit on the property of Geoff and Paul Bammann at Cleve on the Eyre Peninsula. Paul Bammann said the crop’s early vigour was “sensational”. The Bammanns chose the crop option based on yield with chemical residues from previous crops taken into consideration. “The Clearfields seem to be consistently outyielding the triazines,” Paul said. Clearfield canola has been grown on the property since 2001 and has provided a good option for both yield and weed control. Yields in the better country reached 2 t/ha with yields of 1.4 t/ha in areas of lower fertility.

Canola produced excellent yields under late plant conditions on the property of Darren Morrell, at Meckering, east of Northam in Western Australia. Mr Morrell said Pioneer® hybrid 44Y84 (CL) and Pioneer® variety 44C79 (CL) were sown dry in mid-May. He said the Clearfield canola produced yields well above the long-term farm averages. Two paddocks of 44Y84 (CL) produced average yields of 2.4 and 2.1 t/ha and the 44C79 (CL) averaged 2 t/ha. The long-term average for canola on the property is between 1.2 and 1.3 t/ha.

Canola has become a more viable option in the past two seasons on the property of Andrew Parsons, on his property in the Mallee region, just outside Swan Hill in Victoria. Mr Parsons included both hybrids and open pollinated options on the farm. 44Y84 (CL) was the main hybrid planted with 44C79 (CL) and Pioneer® variety 43C80 (CL) also sown in different paddocks. The canola crop was planted at the end of April. A trial was conducted on the property which pitted 44C79 (CL) against 44Y84 (CL) and the new Pioneer® hybrid 43Y85 (CL). 43Y85 (CL) was the highest yielding canola in the trial at 2 t/ha, compared to 44Y84 (CL) at 1.84 t/ha and 44C79 (CL) at 1.7 t/ha.

45Y86
Next generation Y series hybrid to be released in 2013 sets new benchmark for herbicide tolerant canola. Extensive testing in the field over four growing seasons has demonstrated wide adaptation and superior performance compared to Hyola 575CL. Exceptional hybrid vigour combined with very high yield potential ideally suited for dualpurpose (graze and grain) option in full-season environments. Recommended replacement for industry benchmark 46Y83.
What growers are saying Canola used as a tool to control weeds has produced excellent yields for Jamie Roebuck, at Arcadia, in the Goulburn Valley of Victoria. Mr Roebuck said the property has been set up for cattle but last season they did not have enough stock to graze the paddocks if it was all planted to pasture. On top of that there were issues with weeds, and so a decision was made to put 80 ha into canola. Pioneer® hybrid 45Y82 (CL) was chosen and planted at a rate of 2.5 kg/ha in mid-April. At harvest some parts of the better paddock were recording yields of 4.2 t/ha and the area averaged 3.5 t/ha. The poorer country, which had issues with being lasered, poor germination and mice, still responded well with an average yield of 2.5 t/ha.

Ray Lamond at Blyth in the mid-north planted 45Y82 (CL) as part of the Clearfield Challenge which compares Clearfield and triazine-tolerant herbicide-tolerant canola types. Mr Lamond planted his 45Y82 at a much reduced rate of 2.2kg/ ha (compared with 4.2kg/ha of the TT) on the advice of his agronomist. Initial worries about reducing the seed rate were forgotten as the crop established well and displayed impressive early vigour. “This (45Y82 (CL)) gets up and goes,” Mr Lamond said. The Clearfield hybrid flowered earlier than the triazine and also finished flowering first. The crop showed a good depth of pod across the paddock and yielded
A crop of Clearfield canola produced the best ever yields on the property of Brian McIntosh, at Colbinabbin, in central Victoria last season. Mr McIntosh said he grew 72 ha of Pioneer® hybrid 45Y82 (CL) canola giving an average yield of 3.23 t/ha with an average oil percentage of 43.21 percent. Clearfield® canola has been grown on the property since it was first released and has impressed with good yields in a range of seasonal conditions. Mr McIntosh said the country was bad for radish and turnip weeds and he used the herbicide Intervix as a post-emergent option to control the weeds. Resistant ryegrass has also been an issue in that particular paddock in recent years and it was rotated through a crop of peas before the canola was planted early in the season.
A crop of canola produced an average yield of 2.5 t/ha in a good result for Mark Minehan, of Bumbaldry, east of Cowra, New South Wales. Mr Minehan planted 56 ha of the crop in April of 2011. Pioneer® hybrid 46Y83 (CL) was chosen for the plant with the local agronomist recommending the canola type because it provided greater option for weed control. Mr Minehan said weeds on the property included Paterson’s curse although there were also issues with barley grass in a paddock that had previously been sown down to pasture. He said the herbicide options used on the canola produced a very good result, with the paddocks remaining very clean throughout the season. 21

43Y23
“The earliest Y series hybrid with Roundup Ready® technology to be released in 2013. Added benefits only Y series hybrids can deliver that combine accelerated yield gains with ease of management for growers in low to medium growing zones. New source of blackleg resistance allows greater flexibility to manage blackleg in canola rotations. Wide adaptation to suit all major canola growing zones.”
Mid choices 45Y22 (RR)

“Next generation Y series hybrid released in 2011, combines outstanding standability and redefines top-end yield potential. PAT proven. Proven advantages of exceptional early vigour and responds well with good management. A unique Roundup Ready® hybrid with delayed flowering habit that better suits early planting and helps spread seasonal risk. Extends the choice of weed control tools around environmentally sensitive waterways in high rainfall growing zones.” Recommended replacement for 45Y21.

“The first Y series hybrid with Roundup Ready technology. Proven industry benchmark for excellent early vigour and higher oil content in the herbicide tolerant class. Simply reliable over a wide range of seasonal conditions.”
A season of late planting and heavy rain at harvest still produced high canola yields for Don Howard, of ‘Benbern’ Manilla, north of Tamworth in New South Wales. It was the second year canola had been grown on the property and Mr Howard decided to try a Roundup Ready canola hybrid for the 2011 plant. Sixty ha of Pioneer hybrid 45Y22 (RR) was dry-sown in mid-May and came up on rain early the following month. Mr Howard said there was very little rain received in the first two months but the crop hung on well and responded to good rainfall in September. Just as the moisture level of the canola grain was ready for stripping, the canola received a number of rainfall events totalling 11 inches which delayed harvest until mid-December. Mr Howard had decided to direct-head the crop and was able to harvest it when the paddock finally dried out after the rainfall. In spite of the poor finish to the season, the 45Y22 (RR) still produced an average yield of 3 t/ha.
Roundup Ready canola has proved a great success on the property of Rohan Marold (pictured with Trevor Dhue) of Coomalbidgup, west of Esperance, in southern Western Australia. Last year he grew 600 ha of Roundup Ready canola made up of a number of different hybrids and varieties including the new Pioneer® hybrid 45Y22 (RR) which performed particularly well. Overall the Roundup Ready canola produced an average yield of 2.3 t/ha which was the best result on the property. He said herbicide resistance was becoming more of a problem however with Roundup he was able to control ryegrass which is resistant to other herbicide groups. Ryegrass and radish are the major weed issues on the property and Roundup has proved to be successful in controlling both.
NB: Cultivation and growing of Roundup Ready® canola is permitted only in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.
