Seeding Peas: Establish a Strong Crop
Seeding Date Seed peas as early as possible from late April to early May for maximum yield potential. Peas are more tolerant to spring frosts than other crops because pea cotyledons remain underground. If frost injury occurs, new shoots will emerge from axillary buds that are protected under the soil surface. The minimum soil temperatures…

Dry Bean Nitrogen Fertilization and Inoculant Research in Manitoba
Dry beans are relatively poor N-fixers, producing less than 45% of their N requirement. Nitrogen uptake rates in dry beans range from 3.9-4.7 lbs N/cwt of seed, meaning a 2000 lbs/ac dry bean crop would require 78-90 lbs N/ac. This nitrogen may come from a combination of residual soil N, biological N fixation and N…

Declining Sources of Resistance to Phytophthora Root Rot in Soybeans and How to Manage It
SINCE the mid-1950s, many soybean growers across Canada have struggled with Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae. Once the disease is present in their fields, farmers must deal with it for a long time as surviving spores will persist in the soil for approximately 10 years.

Dry Bean Field Selection
Dry beans are susceptible to salinity, cold soils, spring and fall frosts and excessively wet soils or ponding water. Choose fields that are well-drained, with medium to coarse-textured soils. Plant into fields without troublesome weeds. Fields with thistles, kochia, buckwheat and lambsquarters are going to be tough to keep clean. Salinity High water tables bring…
