Nuseed and DL Seeds announced they’ve entered into a spring canola research and development collaboration where they will contribute capabilities, proprietary traits, and top canola genetics from their breeding programs.
The North American value-added spring canola market will be the focus for collaboration. Both companies see significant opportunity, through global collaboration, to efficiently deliver substantial benefits to canola growers, the value chain, and downstream markets.
Details of the global agreement are confidential with the North American collaborative program development already underway.
