Pulse USA is very honored to have been awarded the marketing rights to all CLEARFIELD
®
designated varieties of lentils here in the US by BASF and the Crop Development Centre
(CDC). CLEARFIELDv (CL) designated varieties have bred-in tolerance (non-GMO) to Beyond
® herbicide (imidazolinone chemistry). |

The primary benefits of the CLEARFIELD® Production System are better weed control
and fewer trips across the field. Although not a bullet-proof program (nothing is), overall
weed control has been so vastly improved by this system in western Canada that in the short
time they've been available, CLEARFIELD® lentil varieties now occupy the majority of the acres
there. An early preplant application of Prowle H20 is recommended where ALS-resistant
weeds are a concern. Growers who quit lentils out of frustrations with weed control may now
have good reason to give the crop another try. |

In order to protect this technology, and more importantly, in order to encourage future
developmental investments in pulse crops, CL lentil seed can only be sold as a class of
certified seed, and growers will be asked to sign a CLEARFIELD® Lentil Stewardship Grower
Agreement that will help assure the system's long-term sustainability. Please contact you
local Pulse USA affiliate or the Pulse USA office directly for details. |

Initial supplies of two new CLEARFlELD® varieties, CDC Impala CL and CDC Impress CL will be limited relative to the pent-up demand for this much-anticipated launch. Read more about
them in the following section. And please make timely commitments and exercise patience as
we move forward together in rolling out this exciting new opportunity. |
