30 years of agronomic expertise. Proven innovation. Practical insights for your farm.

Great canola performance doesn't happen by accident.

Behind every InVigor hybrid are years of breeding, testing, research and agronomic learning. The Innovation Behind InVigor brings you closer to that expertise, connecting BASF specialists with growers and industry experts to explore the challenges, technologies and decisions shaping canola production today.

Each live session combines expert perspectives, current research and timely data, with an opportunity to ask questions and be part of the discussion.

Disease Never Stands Still

Clubroot, Blackleg & Verticillium Stripe

Disease pressure in canola continues to evolve, and managing it takes more than choosing a resistant hybrid. Join BASF experts for a practical look at clubroot, blackleg and verticillium stripe, including how these diseases are changing across Western Canada, what resistance really means, and how genetics, hybrid selection and agronomic practices can work together to help manage risk. We’ll also explore how InVigor breeding continues to respond to evolving disease challenges, including the development and testing of new sources of clubroot resistance.

Featuring: Brittany Hedges, BASF Technical Services Manager, John Guelly from JJ Farms, alongside Chris Manchur from the Canola Council of Canada. Hosted by Clint Jurke, BASF Regional Technical Services Manager.

What Does It Take to Make the Cut?

Inside the BASF Canola Testing Program

Before an InVigor hybrid earns a place in the lineup, it has to prove itself. Go behind the scenes of the BASF Canola Testing Program to see how potential hybrids are evaluated across Western Canadian growing environments, what our teams look for beyond yield, and how years of trial data help inform advancement decisions. We’ll then connect that testing to InVigorResults.ca, showing how you can use local performance data to compare hybrids and make more informed decisions for you own operation.

Featuring: Jeff Mansiere, BASF North America Breeding Manager, Clint Jurke BASF Regional Technical Services Manager, Rob MacDonald, BASF Manager, Agronomic Excellence. Hosted by Mark Alberts, BASF Senior Brand Manager – InVigor.

More Than Another Herbicide Option

The Agronomy Behind Dual-Herbicide Traits

Dual-herbicide trait technology brings another level of flexibility to canola production, but getting the most from that flexibility starts with understanding the agronomy behind it. Explore where Liberty and TruFlex glyphosate herbicide tolerance can fit within a weed-management strategy, how field conditions, weed spectrum and application timing can influence decisions, and why having another option doesn’t mean abandoning sound herbicide stewardship. BASF experts will discuss how trait flexibility, patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology and hybrid genetics come together in one agronomic package.

Featuring: Bethany Wyatt, BASF Technical Services Specialist, alongside Ian Epp from SK Oilseeds and Professor Rob Gulden from the University of Manitoba. Host TBD.

Pod Shatter. Pod Drop. Know the Difference.

Pod Integrity Matters

Pod integrity matters when protecting the yield potential growers have spent an entire season building, but not all pod technologies work the same way. BASF experts will break down the biology behind pod shatter and pod drop, explain the genetic differences between the two approaches, and explore what those differences can mean as the crop approaches harvest. We’ll connect the science behind InVigor’s patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology with agronomic considerations and field performance to help you better understand what you are choosing, and why it matters.

Featuring: Cory Ralph, BASF Technical Services Manager and Stewart Brandt, BASF Director, Wheat/Canola Crop System. Hosted by Mark Alberts, BASF Senior Brand Manager – InVigor.
