BASF delivers strongest disease package yet with new InVigor L355PC
- InVigor L355PC is built to deliver high yield potential while arming growers in the fight against clubroot, verticillium stripe and blackleg
CALGARY, ALBERTA, July 7, 2025 – Western Canadian canola growers will have access to a powerful new InVigor® canola hybrid in 2026 with the launch of InVigor L355PC. The new high-yielding hybrid from BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada (BASF) features the most advanced disease resistance package offered in the InVigor lineup. It also features patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology to help growers protect their crops.
“Growers continue to face diseases that threaten yield potentials across Western Canada,” said Mark Alberts, InVigor Senior Brand Manager, BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada. “Combining our most robust disease package to date with high yield potential for growers in the mid to long growing zones, this hybrid delivers on what matters most to them.”
Managing and preventing disease while maximizing yield remains a top priority for canola growers across the prairies. InVigor L355PC features strong blackleg and first-generation clubroot resistance, along with a strong verticillium stripe performance rating. Included in the 2024 BASF Agronomic Excellence field trials, InVigor L355PC was one of our top yielding hybrids across 28 sites.
InVigor L355PC leverages patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology to give growers the flexibility to harvest their canola in the way that works best for them – helping maximize productivity while reducing yield loss.
“Growers who seed InVigor L355PC in 2026 will not have to compromise on performance,” said Alberts. “The addition of InVigor L355PC rounds out the most impressive InVigor lineup we’ve ever offered”
The launch of this new hybrid reflects InVigor’s dedication to seed innovation and cutting-edge technology. This new addition compliments three early-maturing hybrids released this season – InVigor L330PC, InVigor L333PC and InVigor L341PC – developed to capitalize on early maturity. Together, these new hybrids reflect BASF’s continued investment in hybrid development driven by grower challenges.
