Very strong yields plus unbeatable harvest flexibility and security

1 Backed by Replace MySeed + Pay@Harvest Very strong yields plus unbeatable harvest flexibility and security Paddock experience has shown that replicated trial results tend to undersell the yield potential of. It consistently achieves much better yields in the paddock even if there is no extreme shattering event to show its enormous added value. When you add in the increased flexibility around harvest timing and insurance against damaging weather, can play a very valuable role in every canola program in lower rainfall areas. The first Australian canola with PodGuard Bayer s unique pod shatter reduction trait technology. Minimised shattering provides a PodGuard Paddock Advantage, even without extreme weather events, with an average yield benefit measured at 13% in Early-Mid maturity, but with an extended harvest window. Windrow or direct-head later, achieving maximum pod fill. The ideal variety for medium to low rainfall environments.

Suggested growing areas for Broken Hill Mildura Birchip Horsham Hamilton Deniliquin Bourke Condobolin Corowa Griffith Melbourne Seed treatment options Available with either: OR Wagga Wagga Albury Mudgee West Wyalong Yass Moree Tamworth Sydney Newcastle Systemic broad-spectrum control of wireworm, cutworm, aphids, redlegged earth mites and blue oat mites, and suppression of lucerne fleas. Vital early-season blackleg suppression. Control of rhizoctonia and fusarium for improved plant emergence and increased canola biomass.

2 THE PODGUARD PADDOCK ADVANTAGE Canola without the compromises Without the added security and flexibility of PodGuard, growing and especially harvesting canola involves compromises at every stage. Windrowing and harvest timings are largely dictated by the risk of yield loss through pod shatter. But of course, harvesting before canola reaches its peak causes yield loss in itself. PodGuard changes the whole equation. With such a low risk and incidence of shattering, growers have the freedom to: UP TO Wait until up to 90% colour change to windrow Plant extra canola with more time to harvest Direct-head rather than windrow Worry less about the threat of extreme weather Allow time for the whole paddock to mature Rely on the pods being very secure Harvest more valuable crops first + Enjoy the PodGuard Paddock Advantage

3 PODGUARD GAVE 11% MORE IN 2015 and 13% MORE IN 2016 * Some level of routine pod shattering occurs in nearly all canola crops and because it s such a regular occurrence goes almost unnoticed. It happens: When ripe pods over-mature while you harvest other crops. When part of a paddock matures more quickly than the rest. During the windrowing process. During harvesting, whether direct-heading or picking up windrows. Variety trials are normally desiccated and harvested at safe timings that suit shattering varieties but are typically too early to show the full advantages of PodGuard. In 2016 Bayer collected data from growers that showed an average difference between NVT results and the commercial crop yields of PodGuard varieties of +13%. The PodGuard paddock advantage in extra time Typical safe variety trial harvest timing + EXTRA POD FILL PODGUARD VARIETY STANDARD VARIETY - ADDITIONAL ROUTINE SHATTERING - RISK OF EXTREME WEATHER * In both years, paddock demonstration trials involving PodGuard varieties 26 trials including in 2015, 19 trials including both & InVigor R 5520P in 2016 were compared with NVT results in the same parts of Australia involving these PodGuard lines versus competitor lines. The results confirmed the anecdotal evidence that yields for PodGuard varieties improve in the paddock compared to small plot variety trials.

4 Strong yields even after a shattering event As this 2016 trial showed, is competitive with leading standard varieties even when desiccated or windrowed at normal timings, and retains a much higher proportion of that healthy yield if a shattering event comes along. Desiccation at normal timing No desiccation with shattering 3.0 Yield (t/ha) BCG/Bayer trial, Walmur Making direct-heading less risky and more rewarding has been shown in the paddock to be competitive with the best when windrowed. Direct-heading other canola varieties risks shattering losses, as shown in this graph.
