BASFY Launches InVigor Gold L322 to Expand US Canola Production
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
BASFY introduced InVigor Gold L322, the first hybrid in its canola seed innovation program.
Hybrid targets canola-quality Brassica juncea to expand U.S. acreage; Montana availability planned for 2027.
Earlier maturity, pod shatter tolerance and LibertyLink weed control support performance in heat, arid soils.
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) has announced the introduction of InVigor Gold L322, the first hybrid in its groundbreaking canola seed innovation program. Developed to unlock the full genetic potential of canola-quality Brassica juncea, the new hybrid is designed to help expand canola acreage across the United States. Pending final regulatory approvals, InVigor Gold L322 will be available for Montana in 2027.
The hybrid extends BASF’s InVigor portfolio by offering strong yield stability and consistent performance across a wider range of growing conditions. This performs well in arid environments, high-heat conditions and soils with lower organic matter, making it suitable for regions where canola never fits traditionally. This marks a significant advancement for U.S. agriculture as the new hybrid will help farmers expand canola production into new areas while maintaining the quality and reliability of the brand.
One of the key benefits of InVigor Gold L322 is its earlier maturity, allowing crops to flower sooner and finish faster. This feature makes it particularly well-suited to warmer and drier regions. The hybrid also includes native pod shatter tolerance and LibertyLink weed control to provide growers with greater flexibility, profitability and whole farm productivity.
BASFY has gained 23.5% over the past year compared with the industry’s 9.9% growth.
