Shatter resistance

[Guest]

Have L230 Invigor standing ready to swath. Not familiar with it, but is said to have shatter resistance..
Wet here now in, but forecast is dry. Would prefer to straight cut,and combine is ready worried might shatter before combining straight cut. Swathing safer if sun shines. What thots anyone?

L233 is the pod shatter variety that replaced L230

sure was happy with pod shatter on L340 , anyone else ? good/bad?

Majority of our acres next year will be L340 with a little bit of L357, L356 and Pioneer 506.

Brevant 3010 didn't shatter. They fell right off the stem completely if not well knit.

L357 is a longer season. More for irrigation is what’s said now.

Probably 4-5 days later but stands nice and canopies over quickly, was a solid performer this year despite the drought.

Isn't the wording on the labels now shatter reduction not shatter resistance ? Seems most canola can handle strong winds when it's a good thick stand. I like that 233 and really don't like swathing canola anymore.

Also happy with L340. Best yielding (all were not great) and nice to cut-shatter and pod drop were minimal. L345 was ok too but sure has fine stems-won’t stand in a wetter year.
L233 was still right there with 340 so plan to do some of each next year if it rains.
Pioneer 505 yield was not quite with the Invigor and no where near the shatter resist. Think it’s out for next year.
