A white plastic sampling cup collects green lentils as they are dumped from a grain truck at an inland elevator facility.

The large green lentil varieties CDC Greenstar and CDC Greenland were mistakenly listed with a Clearfield designation in the 2026 Saskatchewan Seed Guide.

These varieties are not Clearfield lentils and are not tolerant to imazamox.

This error occurred during the creation of the table and information for the seed guide. The updated variety table, with corrected information, can be found on the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) website.

University of Manitoba research shows soybean varieties selected for iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) tolerance protect yield in affected areas without reducing performance elsewhere in the field.

CDC Greenstar is one of the highest yielding large green lentils for Saskatchewan, yielding on average nine per cent higher than CDC Greenland in the brown and dark brown soil zones.

The announcement of the error was made by SPG on April 13.
