Canterra Seeds |

NEW!!! CDC 7208 CL – More bushels. Tougher disease package. Same trusted market fit. The future of small reds starts here.

Get ready for the new yield king! CDC 7208 CL from the Crop Development Centre and Limagrain Cereals Research Canada is delivering an impressive 129% of CDC Maxim in pre-commercial trials — making it one of the highest-yielding small red Clearfield lentils ever developed.

Why growers are already excited:

  • Big yield potential (129% of the check)
  • Improved resistance to both Ascochyta blight and anthracnose (Race 1)
  • Clearfield® system for clean, flexible weed control
  • Seed size and quality identical to CDC Maxim — fits existing market channels
  • 2cm taller than Maxim and 1 day later

Bred at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre and backed by Limagrain, CDC 7208 CL is built to push bushels higher while keeping disease pressure low and grading strong.

Seed multiplication is underway now!

**Subject to VUA (Value Use Agreement)**: You can keep seed back from your harvested crop to seed next year. However you will be required to pay a Value use Agreement per acre seeded to support plant breeding in Canada.
