There’s a reason InVigor® hybrid canola is Canada’s most grown clubroot-resistant canola1. InVigor hybrid canola is the leader in managing the rising challenge of clubroot with multiple hybrids offering first- or second-generation resistance for established pathotypes. Plus, you get the performance you know from InVigor and patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology.
Leading the fight against clubroot
You can be confident choosing clubroot-resistant InVigor hybrids to help give your fields exceptional yield potential. At BASF, we work internally and externally to screen new pathotypes as they are identified.
Help protect yield without compromise
You don’t have to choose between performance or resistance with InVigor, as shown by our 2024 DST program. Clubroot-resistant InVigor hybrids come with our patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology to help them perform to their full potential across varying conditions.
Lead the charge against it
This soil borne fungal disease is gaining ground in canola-growing regions across Western Canada. But there’s good news: InVigor hybrid canola has hybrids you can select with a strong performance rating against Verticillium stripe based on InVigor’s breeding team’s observations.
Our commitment to innovation
At BASF, we’re committed to supporting growers with the tools and insights needed to tackle this emerging canola disease head-on. We’ve developed a performance ranking chart for our InVigor hybrids to help guide hybrid selection based on resistance observations from our breeding team under different conditions. These evaluations are preliminary and should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy.
Results may vary on your farm due to environmental factors and preferred management practices. There are currently no industry-wide management recommendations to control the disease.
BASF recommends following good agronomic practices to minimize the impact. If you suspect Verticillium stripe in your canola crop, submit a sample to an accredited laboratory for analytical verification.

InVigor lineup tackles verticillium stripe and other soil-borne diseases
Verticillium can be tricky because while still a soil-borne disease, verticillium moves up the stems of the plant and is easily distributed when harvesting the crop.
