CLEARFIELD crops are an extremely useful tool for Australian growers to optimise production in wheat and canola. Herbicide-tolerant CLEARFIELD crops simplify control of hard-to-kill weeds with high yielding non-GMO varieties.
The CLEARFIELD Production System combines:
|
- High yielding, herbicide-tolerant varieties from Australia's leading plant breeders and seed companies. These varieties are not GMO's, and are tolerant to CLEARFIELD herbicides
- Custom-designed CLEARFIELD herbicides for knockdown and residual weed control
- CLEARFIELD stewardship program

CLEARFIELD Wheat offers high yielding CLEARFIELD varieties tolerant to Midas herbicide. This enables growers to control over 40 weeds including brome grass, barley grass, volunteer cereals, climbing buckwheat and wild oats. Development of new CLEARFIELD wheat cultivars is ongoing in partnership with all major wheat breeding programs in Australia.
CLEARFIELD Canola features some of the highest yielding varieties with the highest oil content available in Australia. These varieties are tolerant to Intervix herbicide. Intervix controls almost 30 weeds including wild radish, mustard, turnip and a range of grass weeds.
Advice on CLEARFIELD crops is available from Crop Care AgriCentres. AgriCentre staff receive ongoing training in CLEARFIELD crops, and AgriCentre agronomists have completed a detailed CLEARFIELD accreditation course. An important component of the CLEARFIELD Production System is the stewardship program, which details Best Management Practices for CLEARFIELD Crops. This program has some obligatory practices that are aimed at ensuring the sustainability of herbicide-tolerant CLEARFIELD crops.
Crop Care AgriCentres also provide logistical support to growers for the CLEARFIELD Production System by facilitating supply of the herbicide tolerant seed varieties and Midas or Intervix crop protection products. |
