So Many Reasons to Choose DEKALB seed

The weed control you need

DEKALB TruFlex canola delivers exceptional control of a wide spectrum of both annual and tough-to-manage perennial weeds.

The higher yield potential you demand

DEKALB hybrids have advanced genetic technology built in to deliver better weed control and crop safety all season long. This includes excellent disease protection with multi-genetic blackleg resistance and clubroot resistant hybrids. The result can be a higher yield potential at harvest time and better yields year after year.

The ease of harvest you deserve

DEKALB straight cut hybrids are selected for their excellent harvestability, which can speed up harvest and help reduce losses and risk. DEKALB SC and SC+ hybrids are bred specifically for enhanced pod integrity and also feature early maturity and quick dry down which supports an earlier, faster, and smoother harvest.

TruFlex Canola Features

Superior weed control for higher yield potential

Canola field

Superior weed control for higher yield potential

TruFlex canola offers greater flexibility in spray rates and timing for superior weed control to maximize yield potential.

Weeds Controlled


The TruFlex canola system can control up to 51 weed species, 24 more weeds than the Roundup Ready® canola system.

  • Cleavers
  • Dandelion
  • Wild buckwheat
  • Wild oats
  • Foxtail barley
  • Canada thistle


Greater Flexibility in Spray Rates and Timing


Every farm is different. TruFlex canola gives growers the ability to apply Roundup WeatherMAX® herbicide in-crop at 0.67 L/ac. for two applications or 1.33 L/ac. for a single application, so growers can choose the right rate for the unique weed challenges on their farm. The application window also extends past the six-leaf stage all the way to first flower, giving growers 10-14 more spray days than Roundup Ready canola. This allows growers to achieve cleaner fields and a higher yield potential for their farm’s unique environment.

Spray rates and timing illustration showing stages (pre-seed, Cotyledon, 2 leaf, 4 leaf, 6 leaf, bud stage and 1st flower). Two application options are available: two-time application and an alternative single application. First application of two-time method is from Cotyledon to 2 leaf stages (optimal spray timing for maximum yield potential at 0.67 L/ac.). Second application is from 2 leaf to 1st flower stages (if required at 0.67 L/ac.). The alternative single-application method is ideally used during Cotyledon to 6 leaf stages at 1.33 L/ac.).
