Multi-location, multi-year yield/agronomic trait selection: field trials over several years and with a minimum of three years over a wide geographic area, to determine performance under real world conditions.
Inbred parental selection: Utilizing multiple screening approaches to characterize parent lines to ensure effective use as females or males in a hybrid commercial production system.
Disease trait selection: In both lab and in-field screening, growing plants under specific disease presence to determine how the hybrids and inbreds perform. Hybrids with desired levels of resistance are then selected for the breeding program and eventual commercial sale.
Advanced breeding methods with Molecular Markers: The use of advanced breeding approaches that utilize genetic markers to increase the accuracy of selecting the highest performing individuals to advance in a breeding program. Combined with field selection and an advanced breeding system, this approach maximizes the effectiveness of selecting the highest performing hybrids.
Gene/Genome editing: The use of breeding methods such as CRISPR-Cas9 to create targeted genetic changes.
Biotech insect control trait: Using GMO tools to provide plant resistance to specific insects, enabling the grower to combine with other insect management measures to achieve durable and sustainable solutions for insect control.
Biotech herbicide tolerance trait: Using GMO tools to provide tolerance to specific herbicides to the plant, so farmers can spray the herbicide without damaging the plant, but still controlling the weed.
Agronomic traits: Identifies hybrids that are developed and selected to help withstand drought conditions and protect against yield loss. These hybrids are highly resilient in challenging conditions and yet responsive to favorable conditions as well, additionally include key native traits that improve the crop’s root system and silk emergence, among other agronomic characteristics, to manage drought stress.
Improved silage quality: Identifies hybrids that were specifically selected to have higher silage quality for whole plant animal feeding operations. Many other (dual purpose) hybrids also have higher silage quality, but are used for either/or animal feeding or grain production purposes.
Expands corn acres to broader geographic options: a hybrid adapted to more Northern latitudes expanding the potential growing area of corn.
Reduced pesticide requirements: Because of genetics and/or traits in the plant, these hybrids have the ability to withstand pest and disease pressure.
Increased grain yield per unit land area: An increase in yield compared to benchmark yields of 2010, allowing a farmer to increase total crop yield, therefore reducing the need for more land to produce the same yield.

Multi-location, multi-year yield/agronomic trait selection: field trials over several years and with a minimum of three years over a wide geographic area, to determine performance under real world conditions.
Disease trait selection: In both lab and in-field screening, growing plants under specific disease presence to determine how the experimental varieties perform. Varieties with desired resistance are then selected for the breeding program and eventual commercial sale.
Gene/Genome editing: using breeding methods such as CRISPR-Cas9 to create targeted genetic changes.
Biotech herbicide tolerance trait: Using GMO tools to provide tolerance to specific herbicides to the plant, so farmers can spray the herbicide without damaging the plant, but still controlling the weed.
Healthy oil properties for human consumption: Enhanced oil characteristics which provide improved benefits for human use, or improved cooking characteristics. Specifically contains higher Oleic Oil which has 0g trans-fat, less saturated fat and the highest amount of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat available in soybean oil.

Combined with field selection and an advanced breeding system, this approach maximizes the effectiveness of selecting the highest performing hybrids.
Herbicide tolerance trait: Using various tools to provide tolerance to specific herbicides to the plant, so farmers can spray the herbicide without damaging the plant, but still controlling the weed.
Disease Resistance traits: Identifies hybrids with increased resistance to diseases, such as clubroot.
Agronomic traits: Improved harvestability and resistance to pod shattering before harvest.
Specialty Oil: Denotes specialty canola oil containing Omega-9
Healthy oil properties for human consumption: All canola oil contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which make it a healthy cooking oil. Additionally, canola oil has only 7% saturated fat.
Reduced pesticide requirements: Because of genetics and/or traits in the plant, these hybrids have the ability to withstand pest and disease pressure.
Increased grain yield per unit land area: An increase in yield compared to benchmark yields of 2010, allowing a farmer to increase total crop yield, therefore reducing the need for more land to produce the same yield.

Herbicide tolerance trait: Using various tools to provide tolerance to specific herbicides to the plant, so farmers can spray the herbicide without damaging the plant, but still controlling the weed (non biotech tools).
High Oleic oil content: Contains higher monounsaturated fat so is more stable for cooking and has a healthier oil profile for human consumption.
