Mercedes - Winter Canola

Have you Heard the BUZZ?

MERCEDES is currently the only active registered conventional winter canola hybrid in the Ontario market.

Compared to older winter canola varieties, MERCEDES early fall vigour combined with excellent winter hardiness make a great fir for Ontario producers looking for a high yielding winter canola variety. Compared to spring Canola, this Mercedes winter Canola has a lower seed price, making it an attractive option for fall cover.

MERCEDES early maturity creates opportunities for a double crop system, or an earlier wheat planting timing.
