New opportunities for canola growers: Bayer CropScience and DuPont have entered into a global licensing agreement for a canola herbicide tolerance trait. Bayer has licensed its proprietary herbicide tolerance technology, LibertyLink™, to DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred for use in canola hybrids. Pioneer will provide Bayer access to certain proprietary juncea genetics. The agreement will give growers a broader choice of canola hybrids with the LibertyLink™ trait.
