Patented performance that can't be matched.
For over a decade, you’ve trusted our patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology to help protect your yield by safely retaining the seeds in the pod until you are ready to harvest, even under adverse conditions.
In 2026, every InVigor® canola hybrid in our lineup features this patented technology so that you can rely on flexibility at harvest in every field.
Pod Shatter Reduction hybrids give growers the advantage of adapting to the conditions around busy harvest time, giving you one less thing to worry about. This allows growers the flexibility to straight cut or delay swath while helping protect yield potential.
Pod Shatter Reduction technology separates InVigor from the rest of
the field.
- Helps protect your yield
- Delays swath at a later seed colour change or straight cut
- Reduces harvest loss from equipment losses
- Minimizes the impact of late-season weather
- Longer pod fill resulting in larger seed and increased yield
- Reduces volunteer canola
Tips for straight cutting.
Monitor seeding rate to achieve desired target plant population – We recommend targeting a uniform plant population of 5 to 7 plants/ft2 by adjusting seeding rates based on the TSW range of the seed
Eliminate weeds – Clean fields are easier to straight cut; weeds, when still green, can cause both harvest and storage issues
Be on the lookout for green plant material – Monitor your harvested canola seed even if it comes off dry as there is a greater chance of plant material making it into the sample
Maintain appropriate combine and reel speeds – You must re-evaluate all of your combine settings when straight cutting, which could involve slower harvest speeds; if you are using a reel, ensure the speed of the reel matches the speed of your combine
- Consider using a pre-harvest application of Eragon® LQ herbicide + glyphosate to reduce green material and allow the crop to dry down more evenly
- Manage disease proactively
Pod Shatter Reduction hybrids.
Please note: Maturity and standability are based on performance ratings and data compiled from several InVigor internal trials over multiple years. Results may vary on your farm due to environmental factors and preferred management practices.
Note: Corteva recommends that all hybrids with a shatter score rating of 6 or less be managed according to guidelines for swathing (60%-80% seed colour change).
1 To predominant clubroot pathotypes found in Canada at the time of registration. InVigor L355PC, InVigor L330PC, InVigor L350PC and InVigor L340PC share the same first-generation clubroot resistance profile. InVigor L343PC has the resistance profile plus it contains second-generation multigenic clubroot resistance to additional clubroot pathotypes to help combat evolving clubroot pathotypes.
2 Agronomic Excellence Trials, 2024, n=number of balanced trials. Number of trials vary by comparison. All trials were straight cut. Results were replicated and adjusted for moisture but not dockage.
3 We recommend growing InVigor L343PC with second-generation clubroot resistance in clubroot-affected areas after two cycles of growing first-generation clubroot-resistant hybrids or when clubroot symptoms are noticed in first-generation clubroot-resistant hybrids.
