INV1350

Focus on Phytosanitary Reliability

In intensive farming, protecting oilseed rape from fungal pathogens often consumes a significant portion of profit margins. The INV1350 hybrid from BASF S.A. offers agronomists a solution focused on biological resilience. As a product of the Brazilian breeding school, this simple linear hybrid demonstrates impressive resistance to a complex of the most dangerous diseases: Verticillium wilt, Sclerotinia, and Phoma stem canker.

Crop Architecture

INV1350 stands out for its compactness and well-balanced morphology:

• A plant height of 90–100 cm simplifies harvesting and minimizes the risk of lodging.
• A high branching potential allows the hybrid to form a robust habit even at moderate seeding density.

These features make the hybrid an excellent choice for farms aiming to reduce fungicide application costs. Unlike taller competitors prone to lodging, INV1350 maintains a vertical stem position, which facilitates harvesting operations and reduces seed losses during combine operations.

Who is this hybrid for?

The model is optimal for regions with high humidity and high infection pressure, where the risk of Sclerotinia is particularly high. While the hybrid does not aim to be a record-breaker in terms of absolute 1000-seed weight, its strength lies in consistency: where other crops may lose 20-30% of their yield to diseases, INV1350 maintains the integrity of its productive organs. It is a reliable tool for those who prioritize stable gross yields over short-term records.
