Product overview
BASF has introduced InVigor Gold L322, the first hybrid released from its new canola seed innovation aimed at canola quality Brassica juncea. The hybrid is positioned to expand U.S. canola acreage by enabling production in areas where canola has not traditionally fit.
Agronomic traits
InVigor Gold L322 is the earliest‑maturing hybrid in the InVigor portfolio to date, with earlier flowering and a faster finish suited to warmer, drier environments and lower organic‑matter soils. BASF’s field trials report consistent performance and yield stability across a wider range of growing conditions. The hybrid includes native pod shatter tolerance and is offered with LibertyLink weed‑control technology.
Availability and grower use
BASF plans to make InVigor Gold L322 available in Montana for the 2027 season, pending final regulatory approvals. The company positions the hybrid as a new rotational option intended to add flexibility, profitability and whole‑farm productivity for growers in more arid production areas.
