Enhancing Yield Potential with NTACT™ Technology

Western Canadian growers are always looking for ways to make their harvests more efficient and profitable. One exciting development is NTACT™ Technology, which allows growers to better take advantage of straight cutting by reducing preharvest seed loss.

Let's explore how NTACT™ Technology can transform the canola harvest experience. 

Save time and reduce labour

Straight cutting, an increasingly popular method among farmers, eliminates the need for swathing, thereby saving time, labor, and fuel. By bypassing the swathing process, farmers can streamline their operations and reduce costs. Additionally, straight cutting minimizes seed loss caused by windrow movement in strong winds. 

Minimize seed loss 

A major challenge with straight cutting is pod integrity. When mature pods break open prematurely, it leads to seed loss. NTACT™ Technology addresses this issue by fortifying canola pods through selective breeding and biotechnological interventions. These advancements have strengthened the pod walls and increased their elasticity, resulting in improved pod integrity. 

Enhance yield stability

NTACT™ Technology increase pod integrity, representing a breakthrough in canola genetics. Traditional canola varieties were prone to shatter loss, especially under adverse weather conditions during ripening. Proven Seed’s development of NTACT™ hybrids addresses this issue, allowing farmers to adopt straight cutting with confidence and ensure maximum seed retention. 

Improve farm profitability

The combination of straight cutting and NTACT™ Technology offers a comprehensive solution to the challenges of canola harvesting. By simplifying the harvesting process and maximizing seed retention, this translates to improved farm profitability.
