Control of broadleaf weeds is essential for the rapid adoption and success of commercial crops in North America. Yield10 is establishing a leadership position in the development of herbicide tolerant (“HT”) camelina to drive broad acceptance of the crop by growers. The Company is developing camelina with tolerance to a broad leaf herbicide, which has been used safely in commercial crop production for over 25 years. In addition, Yield10 is developing an herbicide package for camelina, incorporating tolerance to over-the-top application of broadleaf herbicide as well as tolerance to soil residual Group 2 herbicides, which are commonly used to control weeds in cereal crops.
