Clearfield® System
Tomahawk CL Plus has been specifically developed to carry two genes for tolerance to Clearfield® Intervix® herbicide. Intervix® is a member of the imidalolinone chemical family with Group 2 (formerly Group B) mode of action, offering one-pass post-emergent knockdown and residual control of many major grass and broadleaf weeds.

Breeders comments
Tomahawk CL Plus is very closely related to popular variety Scepter, and offers all the benefits of Scepter along with Clearfield® tolerance.
Tomahawk CL Plus has bridged the yield gap between conventional and Clearfield® wheat varieties, delivering yields well above Scepter. Not only does Tomahawk CL Plus offer higher yields, it has a similar disease resistance, physical grain quality package, adaptation and maturity as Scepter.
This combination of traits make Tomahawk CL Plus a great variety choice for growers who are looking to maximise their production, as well as giving them the option to use Clearfield® Intervix® technology to control certain grass and broadleaf weeds, or managing Clearfield® Intervix® soil residues from a previous crop.
