Blair’s Crop Solutions and Smart Earth Camelina Corp. have formed a partnership on sales of NewGold SES1154HR, the first herbicide-resistant camelina variety.
Both companies said the new relationship will allow them to market NewGold and better serve customers at Blair’s six ag retail locations in central Saskatchewan: Lanigan, Nokomis, McLean, Liberty, Watrous and Rosthern. SEC has been headquartered in Saskatoon since 2005.
The variety is considered to be a viable option in areas where hard-to-control weeds such as cleavers and chickweed are problematic because it is resistant to modes of action to control Group 13 weeds.
Blair’s will also handle herbicide sales for NewGold SES1154HR.
