As global demand for canola rises, farmers in areas in the Great Plains and the brown soil zone in Canada stand before a transformative opportunity. InVigor® Gold by BASF offers a groundbreaking pathway to reimagine what's possible on your farm. As demonstrated in BASF field trials, InVigor Gold hybrids help deliver heat tolerance and yield stability in these regions' unpredictable and stressful growing conditions, where traditional canola may not perform as well.1 Step into a future where your fields fulfill their true potential, expanding opportunities and thriving alongside market demands.
InVigor Gold is a groundbreaking innovation that is aimed at allowing farmers to grow canola in regions where it has typically not been grown. InVigor Gold hybrid canola is adapted to perform in low organic soil and in hotter and drier environments than traditional canola, promoting stable yields even in challenging growing conditions.
Built for big ambitions.
Bred for tough conditions.
InVigor Gold will help to expand the acreage in which canola can be reliably produced across the US and Canada — primarily in areas in the Great Plains and in the brown soil zone in Canada.2
Farmers who face hotter and drier environments and low organic soil conditions in areas in the Great Plains and in the brown soil zone in Canada are poised to unlock new canola acres in these more challenging growing environments, helping meet market demand for canola.
BASF internal trials have shown InVigor Gold's heat tolerance generally results in more stable yields, year over year, than existing canola hybrids in areas in the Great Plains and the brown soil zone in Canada.1
Like traditional canola, InVigor Gold can be processed into oil that's useful as both a food-grade cooking oil and as a biofuel component. Additionally, InVigor Gold meal can be processed into animal feed.3
InVigor Gold aims to provide a potential alternate crop for rotation — with LibertyLink® herbicide tolerance allowing farmers to use Liberty® herbicide products (pending regulatory approval) that help control kochia, Canada thistle and other common weeds.4
Canola oil is in high demand as the top edible oil in Canada and second in the US.5 By engaging with this expanding market, you can unlock new profit opportunities.
Compared to many cereal crops in the Great Plains, canola can offer an enticing revenue potential.
InVigor Gold is aimed to provide farmers an opportunity to participate in the canola market with hybrids adapted to growing conditions of the Great Plains and brown soil zone in Canada.
