Built on dependability.

¹ To predominant clubroot pathotypes found in Canada at the time of registration. InVigor L350PC, InVigor Choice LR354PC, InVigor L340PC, InVigor Choice LR344PC and InVigor L345PC share the same first-generation clubroot resistance profile. InVigor L343PC has this resistance profile plus it contains second-generation multigenic clubroot resistance to additional clubroot pathotypes to help combat evolving clubroot pathotypes.

Providing growers with the option to straight cut or delay swath their canola without sacrificing yield potential, the patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology of InVigor hybrid canola continues to revolutionize the way canola growers approach their entire season.

We have a wide selection of InVigor^® canola hybrids with patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology from BASF, including InVigor L350PC, InVigor Choice LR354PC, InVigor L343PC, InVigor L340PC, InVigor L345PC, InVigor Choice LR344PC and InVigor L233P. This trait gives growers the flexibility to consider delayed swathing or straight cutting at harvest.

Both options mean pods will fill for a longer period, resulting in larger seeds, a fuller pod and the potential for lower green seed counts. In short, better overall results.

Clubroot is a constantly evolving disease in canola. As such, management practices need to evolve alongside the disease to minimize its impact today, as well as in the future. Sustainability of the US canola production industry guides our position on how to best manage clubroot and how we recommend deploying clubroot-resistant genetics. With all of this in mind, growers should implement an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy that includes:

• Canola rotation of a minimum of once every three years
• Taking sanitation steps to limit the movement of infected soil
• Controlling volunteer canola and other brassica weeds that can act as hosts for the disease
• Utilizing patch management to limit the movement of clubroot on your farm
• Scouting to identify the presence of the disease
• Clubroot-resistant genetics are only effective as a sustainable practice as part of an IPM strategy and should not be relied upon alone

Since their launch, InVigor canola hybrids with clubroot resistance have been planted on over 28 million acres across Canada, where the clubroot disease pressure is much higher due to tighter rotations. That’s more than any other seed company*. For 2023, US growers can choose from six InVigor clubroot-resistant hybrids – all of which include our patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology.

Our new 300 series hybrids –InVigor L350PC and InVigor Choice LR354PC – as well as InVigor L340PC, InVigor L345PC and InVigor Choice LR344PC all contain the same first-generation clubroot resistance genetics. InVigor L343PC contains this resistance profile plus second-generation clubroot resistance to additional emerging clubroot pathotypes to help defend against the ever-evolving pathogen.

Straight cutting and delayed swathing allows pods to fill for a longer period of time, resulting in larger seeds, a fuller pod and potential for lower green seed counts. This technology may also reduce the amount of volunteer canola in your fields by ensuring the seeds end up in your combine hopper at harvest, minimizing management challenges in future growing seasons.

Late swathing reduces the timing pressure of a large-acre harvest and increases combining flexibility, allowing you to leave the crop in the swath longer. Straight cutting, if timed correctly, can offer growers a yield and quality advantage by allowing them to harvest a more mature crop. Growers often harvest canola with the same swather and combine as cereal crops, with some adjustments. Growers choose late swathing to hasten the drying rate of their canola, ensure even ripening and reduce the possibility of seed losses from wind and hail.

InVigor canola hybrids that contain the “P” in their name, including InVigor L350PC, InVigor Choice LR354PC, InVigor L343PC, InVigor L340PC, InVigor L345PC, InVigor Choice LR344PC and InVigor L233P all come with the patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology from BASF. This gives growers the flexibility to consider delayed swathing or straight cutting at harvest. Both options mean pods will fill for a longer period, resulting in larger seeds, a fuller pod and the potential for lower green seed counts. In short, better overall results.

• Liberty herbicide use on InVigor canola hybrids with the LibertyLink trait provides an excellent means for growers to rotate non-selective herbicide systems to effectively manage tough to control weeds.
• Provides an alternative herbicide tolerance system
