VISION Bioenergy Oilseeds and ADAMA team on crop protection solutions for camelina

In North Carolina, VISION Bioenergy Oilseeds (VISION), and Makhteshim Agan of North America Inc. (ADAMA), a global leader in crop protection technology, announced they have entered into a Joint Development Agreement to bring to market a suite of new crop protection solutions for Camelina growers. This partnership will greatly expand labeled crop protection products for Camelina, a relatively new crop in the renewable fuels market with a limited number of labeled crop protection options.

The partnership will pursue multiple pathways for expanding crop protection solutions for Camelina. ADAMA will conduct comprehensive research to support the registration of their current crop protection offerings for use on Camelina. At the same time, VISION will focus on developing genetic herbicide tolerance in Camelina. The objective is to develop Camelina strains that work seamlessly with ADAMA’s best-in-class herbicides, ensuring enhanced crop protection and better yields.
