Invigor 305 PS

Genetic Protection and Productivity of Invigor 305 PS

The winter oilseed rape "Invigor 305 PS" by BASF S.A. is a classic example of a linear hybrid developed with the specifics of Brazilian breeding to achieve consistently high results. The key feature of this material is the balance between adaptability to complex weather conditions and an aggressive phytosanitary background.

Biological Resistance to Phoma

The main factor reducing rapeseed yield is Phoma lingam. The design of this hybrid incorporates genetic resistance mechanisms that allow the plant to limit the spread of fungal infection at the stem level. This is critical, as root neck damage often leads to lodging and significant losses during harvest.

Seeding Density and Potential Unlocking

The cultivation of "Invigor 305 PS" requires precise adherence to seeding rates. The optimal range is 400,000–500,000 plants per hectare. The choice of density depends on moisture availability and planting dates: the lower threshold (400k) is preferable for earlier planting to facilitate the formation of a robust root system, while the upper threshold (500k) is suitable for shifted sowing dates or soils with high fertility potential. This flexibility allows for the most efficient use of the feeding area, preventing competition between plants and stimulating branching.

Yield Potential

The declared yield of 40–50 c/ha is supported by the hybrid's intensive growth type. Thanks to high-quality genetic foundation, the plant efficiently converts photosynthetic energy into pod mass. Using this hybrid is a commitment to reliability, backed by technological control from BASF S.A. at every stage of vegetative and reproductive organ development.
