It looks like a morning of “joint-development” announcements. This first one is from BASF and Nidera.

BASF and Nidera today announced the introduction of CLHA-Plus – a new genetic trait for the CLEARFIELD Production System for Sunflowers – at the 17th International Sunflower Conference held in Cordoba, Spain.

CLHA-Plus is the result of a long-term joint development program between BASF and Nidera, a leading sunflower seed breeding company that supplies genetics worldwide. “Nidera’s expertise in sunflower breeding and biotech development techniques complements our core competencies in AHAS genes and imidazolinone tolerance technology,” said Alyson Emanuel, Director, Global Strategic Marketing Herbicides of BASF’s Crop Protection division.
