Syngenta has launched a new canola hybrid that’s best suited for the mid- to long-season maturity zones of Western Canada.

SY4187 is a new Genuity Roundup Ready canola variety that can help producers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba manage clubroot-infected fields.

“SY4187 further strengthens the Syngenta canola seed portfolio and gives growers more opportunity to capitalize on high yields in geographies where clubroot is a growing concern,” said Shaun Vey, Product Lead, Canola and Cereal Seed, with Syngenta Canada in a release. “SY4187 is an ideal hybrid for growers that want to be proactive and protect their canola from clubroot, but don’t want to sacrifice anything in terms blackleg control or top-end yield potential."

It can also provide producers with excellent stability, making the variety easy to swath and can deliver time savings during harvest.

Vey said SY4187 also ranked among the top-producing hybrids during the 2015 Canola Performance Trials, Public Co-op Trials and Syngenta field trials.

It will be available for sale in fall of 2016 for spring 2017 seeding.
