Invigor canola 8440, 5440 and 5770?

[skip]

Any major differences between Invigor 8440 and 5440? Looking at 5770 as well. The brochure says its 3bus more in yeild and 1-2days later in maturing. Any feed back on it?

5440 - top yielder 116% of check (45H21)
5770 - 109% of check 2 days longer then 5440. To long for most places

5770 is the same as a RR from Viterra Genetics called VT500. I would use this if you cannot get any 5770

For us
5440 does best on best ground
8440 is a REAL workhorse and handles lower fertility and moisture stress. My experience is 8440 holds strong avg yields while 5440 has top end performance but doesn't do as well as 8440 when things get tough. Here 8440 is swathed 3-5 days sooner then 5440. 5770 looked real good in the plots here although never grew yet...I hate 5030 for its size, but was the best yielder again last season.
