Late Soybean Seeding
Research in Manitoba has proven that yield potential is reduced when soybeans are planted at or beyond the end of…
Soybean Replanting
Determine the Initial Plant Stand Before you make any replanting decisions, the first step is to assess the existing plant…
Soybean Seed Depth Assessment
Recommended Seed Depth Plant soybeans at 0.5–1.5 inches deep for the best emergence and yield potential. To determine the appropriate…
Soybean Rolling
Land rolling is one method that can improve harvestability of soybean crops. Rolling evens the soil surface by pushing rocks,…
Early Soybean Seeding
Optimal Window Deciding when to plant is a balance of the right calendar date, soil conditions, weather forecast and personal…
Preliminary Summary of Soybean Yield Loss from Hail at V2 to V3 in Manitoba
Soybean yield loss due to hail depends on the growth stage, type of damage and severity. Currently, we rely on…
Assessing Early-Season Frost Damage
After a frost event, fields should be scouted and decisions should be made on a field-by-field basis. If temperatures were…
Soybean Seed Treatments: Assessing Your Risk
The following risk assessment was developed to help farmers and agronomists identify where seed treatments are most likely to be beneficial by describing the factors that influence soil insect populations and fungal pathogens
Minimizing Air Seeder Damage
The lower the moisture content of the soybean seed, the more likely it is to suffer damage during air seeding.
Validating Soybean Seeding Rate Recommendations with the On-Farm Network
Soybean seeding rates were explored by the MPSG On-Farm Network in 2018 at 15 on-farm trial locations across Manitoba.
