THERE'S MORE THAN ONE ANSWER TO POD SHATTER

DEKALB STRAIGHT CUT PLUS CANOLA HYBRIDS

For a Faster, Smoother Harvest and Pod Shatter Protection, Choose DEKALB Canola Hybrids with Built-in Straight Cut Genetics

Discover the ever-growing lineup of DEKALB® Straight Cut and Straight Cut Plus hybrids. With improved pod shatter genetics, DEKALB hybrids are selected for their excellent harvestability to get you in the field sooner and reduce any potential yield loss. 


In addition to pod integrity, our Straight Cut and Straight Cut Plus hybrids feature early maturity and quicker dry down, allowing for an earlier, faster and smoother harvest. Natural dry-down means a desiccant isn’t always necessary, eliminating the need for another spray pass in the fall. 


For a high yield potential and maximum flexibility, choose DEKALB Straight Cut and Straight Cut Plus canola hybrids.

2024 DEKALB Straight Cut Lineup

DEKALB straight cut hybrids contain improved pod shatter genetics and are selected for their excellent harvestability to get you in the field sooner and reduce any loss of seed. Our Straight Cut Plus hybrids carry an additional trait for enhanced pod shatter protection. The SC and SC+ icons will help you better understand pod integrity, giving you the flexibility to choose the best harvest management style for your farm. 

Relative Shatter Performance of Canola Under Pressure

This represents the level of canola shatter risk (which is different than pod drop) in a canola cultivar. Values do not depict a specific percentage of shatter but allow cultivars to be considered relative to the designated checks (45H33 and L255PC) which anchor the numerical/descriptive claim based on seed provider data. The ratings are not a promise or performance guarantee given the significant environmental effects impacting the trait as described in stewardship document. Please consult your retailer for recommendations.
