BASF Invigor rate pisses me off. Any other canola that has decent pod shatter?

[Wink73]

A quick question a little off topic but related, in listening to post harvest stories from neighbors it appears the Lexion is a fantastic wheat combine but not as effective in swathed canola, many many hours to unplug and plugs a lot. Added sunflower kit helped a bit but still plugs. Just wondered what others have experienced?

Hoping to try Brevant ( Corteva) B3010M next year on some acres. No real word knowledge / experience with its pod shatter capacity but plots looked good.

Invigor 234Pc did very well here given the ridiculous weather this year. Still have some 233P out in wind scattered swaths... need some nice days yet to get it.

We tried three varieties this year that all claimed pod shatter to a degree. Invigor was the only true pod shatter, the other two suffered heavy loses. Granted we should have harvested the canola sooner and not let it stand so long in the elements but mother nature didn't allow that.

Going forward we will only trust Invigor as a pod shatter straight cut and will have to see it to believe it on the competitor varieties.

Hey skfarmer707, did you try any Brevant 3010M this year?

Know a couple guys that grew some against 233, one said it was equal, other was 3 bu better than 233. There was some shelling, as it’s not a true pod shatter. It seems like a decent variety.

All SeedCos have to claim they have a pod shatter variety on their roster....even if it really isn't!

Another MARKETING SCAM AND SCHEME, ....devised to not lose too much market share!

Apparently very good club root resistance too. We still swath most acres but the pod shatter trait is still very important for us. Will probably try a field or two of 3010M. Thanks for the info.
