Bayer canola franchise InVigor spring canola breeding  Main breeding farm Saskatoon, SK  Product testing across western Canada and North Dakota with commercial lines entered public canola variety trials Current InVigor hybrids are Libertylink  Resistant to Liberty herbicide Breeding activities  Traditional breeding, molecular breeding, double haploid Full product line for canola market, seed, seed treatment, herbicide, and fungicides for canola production

16 YEARS OF UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE Here are the facts. Since first introduced in the 1996 public co-op trials, InVigor hybrids have placed first every year. That’s 16 consecutive years.

2013 InVigor Spring Canola Line up InVigor L120  New Early Season Hybrid (slightly earlier than L130)  R-rated for Blackleg  Excellent Lodging resistance InVigor L130  R-rated balckleg,  Mid season  Mid-tall height hybrid maturity similar to InVigor 8440

2013 InVigor Spring Canola Line-up cont . InVigor 5440  R- rated for blackleg  Tall full season hybrid  Maturity slightly longer than other InVigor product (InVigor 5550)  Very strong lodging resistance I nVigor L150  R-rated blackleg,  Full season,  Mid-tall height hybrid maturity similar to InVigor 5440

Future InVigor Quality and Agronomic Traits  Two new hybrids 2014  InVigor Health 2014 (HO)  Sclerotinia tolerance 2014  Clubroot  Launched 2011 clubroot infected growing area  Pod Shatter 2014  Roundup Ready 2015 (?)  Brassica juncea (L.) 201?  Winter Canola 201?

New For 2014 InVigor L###S  Product will be in full scale testing in 2013  Mid Season Hybrid  Sclerotinia Tolerance  Excellent Lodging Scores  A few inches taller than other InVigor lines  InVigor yields with tolerance to sclerotinia  Multiple genes  Fungicide still required for heavy pressure and resistance management

Pod Shatter Tolerance 2014 Enhanced tolerance to shatter – no reduction in pod drop Benefits:  Straight combining – tool for those who are or want to  Later swathing – move to + 50% seed color change

Clubroot Resistance InVigor L135C launched in 2011  Resistance is very good Highlights of clubroot resistance:  Program working with public and private sources  InVigor yields with resistance to clubroot  BCS will promote use of other means of clubroot mitigation
