As farmers across Canada gear up for the 2025 season, Bayer is introducing its next-generation canola hybrid—DK401TL. It’s proving to be their highest-yielding canola hybrid thanks to strategic increases in investment, which allowed them to increase both their testing network size and genomic tools, resulting in better, more accurate predictions.
DK401TL was developed to thrive in Western Canadian climates and deliver impressive yield potential—the highest in the entire DEKALB® lineup. In addition to its high-yield potential, it features sought-after traits and agronomic characteristics that have become standard in the DEKALB® lineup, including:
– Straight Cut Plus for enhanced pod shatter protection
– Early maturation and quick natural plant drydown for a smoother harvest
– Clubroot resistance
– Blackleg resistance
The advanced genetics in DK401TL don’t stop there, though. DK401TL achieved a 7.8% average yield advantage over InVigor® L340PC* in 2023 Bayer Market Development trials. Plus, DK401TL offers the advantage of the TruFlex® LibertyLink® system, giving growers the flexibility to customize their weed control strategies. By being able to use either—or both—Roundup Ready® and LibertyLink® technologies, growers can control the broadest spectrum of weed species with a wider window of application and increased rate flexibility.
Bayer’s plant breeding and Market Development programs have played critical roles in launching this hybrid with the 2025 DEKALB lineup. Access to widespread data has allowed Bayer to collect more accurate information from every plot, enabling them to test and monitor how seeds perform across hundreds of diverse scenarios. In Bayer’s grower-led Market Development trials, data is captured in FieldView™?, which has shown time and time again that DK401TL is an excellent option for growers across Western Canada.
