NEXERA CANOLA HYBRID AND VARIETY RESEARCH IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE.
At Dow AgroSciences we are committed to the success of the canola industry in western Canada. Over the past 10 years we have demonstrated our commitment to research and development through ongoing investment in the Nexera canola business, developing an industry recognized breeding program. This investment originates at the Global Canola Research Center in Saskatoon, SK, and extends through field research stations in Carman, MB and Edmonton, AB to canola variety demonstrations across the west. Our priority is to support your success with new, high yielding, high performance canola varieties and hybrids that produce heart-healthy Omega-9 Oil and increase your returns in canola production. As a result, we expect the production of Nexera canola in western Canada will continue to grow.
