Badger XX is built for LRZ-MRZ rainfall paddocks. PodShield® technology holds pods intact for longer to reduce shatter loss at harvest. Badger XX is your choice when you need a canola variety that not only builds yield but helps retain it right through to harvest. While others may look impressive through the season, Badger XX is designed to deliver where it matters most.
Yield performance
- Top yields in Glyphosate LRZ-MRZ (Source: GRDC NVT 2025 GLY MET (LRZ-MRZ, AgZones 1, 2, 4 and 5). Reproducible at https://app.nvt.grdc.com.au/.)
- Badger XX helps improve gross margin stability across seasons
- More consistent return on investment across seasons
Higher oil potential
- Higher oil than every named competitor, 0.8 to 1.5% in LRZ-MRZ (Source: GRDC NVT 2025 GLY MET 12-trial WA AgZone mean (LRZ-MRZ) at 6% moisture content shown.)
- Delivers canola with very high oil content
- Supports profitable harvests and maximises paddock value.
When standability matters
- Badger’s strong standability in LRZ-MRZ builds yield potential through to harvest.
- A variety that spports efficient harvest operations and protecting returns.
Pods that hold longer
- PodShield technology reduces shatter loss and extends the direct-harvest window.
- Maximise yield and provide greater harvest flexibility when conditions or logistics delay harvest

Herbicide tolerance: XX = TruFlex® canola with Roundup Ready® Technology, XX + CL = TruFlex + Clearfield® canola, CL + TT = Clearfield canola + Triazine tolerant, TT = Triazine tolerant, CL = Clearfield canola.
Pacific Seeds adhere to Bayer’s TruFlex (glyphosate) tolerance verification protocol, which requires a minimum tolerance level of 95%. This means that up to 5% plant mortality post over the top application of glyphosate, is considered normal and within specification.

FAQs for
What determines the high oil content?
What is PodShield?
Hyola Badger XX carries the Pacific Seeds PodShield trait. PodShield extends the direct-harvest window and reduces shatter risk under wind exposure or delayed windrowing. The trait pairs with the medium-tall stature and moderate lodging resistance to carry yield through to the header.
What causes the good Blackleg resistance?
Is slow emergence normal in Badger XX?
The slower start is to be expected with Badger XX and is driven by the background genetics. Expect to see fewer plants up at establishment when planting the same plant population. Yield builds through elongation to flowering stages, and by harvest Badger XX finishes ahead of Nuseed Hunter TF on both yield and oil. This has been validated by drone-tracked phenology across multi-environment trials. While it may be slower out of the ground than traditional varieties, it finishes strong with outstanding harvest results.
Being a dual stacked hybrid, is it only suited to following IMI residues?
Where does Badger XX fit?
Badger XX sits in the LRZ-MRZ Glyphosate segment. Offering top yields, comparative oil, stature and standability to harvest, and harvest flexibility via PodShield, Badger XX is designed for growers in low-to-medium rainfall paddocks running the TruFlex chemistry rotation. Its moderate lodging resistance means it is best kept to LRZ-MRZ.
