Pulse and Soybean Seeding Update 2025


May 5, 2025

Field pea seeding is underway in Manitoba with some producers having all their pea acres in, with most fields not reaching emergence yet. With the incredibly warm weekend weather, some earlier sown fields are emerging at VE staging, where the epicotyl has reached through the soil surface.

Soybean seeding progress is limited in Manitoba, with some fields seeded. The question is very common, “is it too soon to seed my soybeans?” Soybean seeding tips to consider can be found in this edition of the Bean report, with results from Manitoba focused research.

MPSG’s On-Farm Network trials are getting established and notably last week a soybean seeding and speed trial near Sperling was seeded.
