CPS Research, Development & Innovation Proven Performance Trials
At CPS, research, development and innovation are at the heart of our
work. It’s where we start and it’s how we continually improve and expand
our seed offering. In 2018 we are continuing to assess and expand our
corn and soybean offering. These new products, combined with ongoing
research, development and innovation across our entire portfolio, prove
our relentless commitment to bringing growers higher-performing seed.
From sourcing high-yielding genetics to providing industry-leading
research on breeding disease resistance traits, we put more than 50
of the best and brightest research minds in agriculture to work, finding
solutions to help you achieve healthier crops and bigger yields. Field trials are the next step in providing our producers with tested and
trusted seed lines. CPS is proud to operate the largest retail-managed
field trial program in Western Canada, the Proven Performance Trials.
Led by the experts on our CPS and Proven Seed teams, we work
closely with hundreds of growers on large scale, producer-managed
fields to gain vital insights into the performance of all our current as
well as experimental seed varieties. We don’t guess, we test.
We have the longest running canola breeding program in Western
Canada, so we know that developing successful varieties always starts
with the best germplasm. As we apply sophisticated agronomy and
disease resistance traits, we help growers reach their goal of outright
yield and yield stability. The result is superior quality seed for canola,
cereals, soybeans, corn, forages, flax and mustard.
New products, combined with ongoing research,
development and innovation across our entire
portfolio, prove our relentless commitment to
bringing growers higher-performing seed.

We conduct our trials across the full range of western Canadian
geographies so we know under which conditions our seed performs to its
full genetic potential. The research, development and innovation team,
Proven Seed team, our expert retail staff and participating growers
collect the data from our trial sources. The breadth of knowledge
and experience of these stakeholders ensures that the conclusions
we draw are thorough and balanced — representing scientific and
in-the-field expertise. It’s performance where it counts.
