Patented performance that can’t be matched.

Providing farmers 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 NEW InVigor L330PC, InVigor L333PC, InVigor L350PC, InVigor Choice LR354PC, InVigor L343PC, InVigor L340PC, InVigor L354PC, InVigor Choice LR344PC and NEW InVigor L355PC. This trait gives farmers the flexibility to consider delayed swathing or straight cutting at harvest. Both harvest 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. ​​

Harvest management practices

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 farmersa yield and quality advantage by allowing them to harvest a more mature crop. Farmersoften harvest canola with the same swather and combine as cereal crops, with some adjustments. Farmerschoose late swathing to hasten the drying rate of their canola, ensure even ripening and reduce the possibility of seed losses from wind and hail.
