The Clearfield® Production System is a great way to grow lentils, combining excellent genetics across all major red and green lentil market classes, with Clearfield herbicide options for great weed control. BASF has worked with the Crop Development Centre (CDC) to develop herbicide-tolerant varieties, leading to the release of CDC Impact and CDC Imperial, the first herbicide-tolerant lentil varieties on the market. Currently, there are 21 Clearfield varieties to choose from across all major lentil classes. These varieties are designed for maximum yield potential and quality with the option to choose from different height, maturity or disease resistance traits to suit your operation.
Contact your Clearfield lentil retailer to get more information on these varieties.
