Survey of Soybean, Field Pea and Dry Bean Root Rots in Manitoba
Root rot symptoms are often overlooked by farmers seeking to identify the cause of under performance in a crop.
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
Precise Pest Identification
ONE OF MPSG’s objectives is to research and extend ways to reduce the costs of pest control. Of course, the cost/ benefit…
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.
Preliminary Results of Potassium Management of Soybean Production in Manitoba
Potassium fertility management for soybeans.
Faba Bean Yield and Nutrient Uptake in Saskatchewan Soil
Yield and nutrient requirements for modern faba bean varieties under prairie conditions.
Integrated Weed Management (IWM) in Narrow-Row Dry Beans
Managing weeds in dry beans can present challenges due to their uncompetitive nature.
Soybean Seeding Decisions – Seeding Window and Seeding Depth Results from 2017 and 2018
What seeding date and depth maximizes soybean yield?
Rethinking Soybean Protein and Seed Quality in Manitoba
To learn more about the underlying causes of low protein in soybeans and to find a way to increase levels in northern growing regions, we must look at the impact of environment, genetics and management.
Diversity in Crops, Research and Conversations
An update from the soybean and pulse agronomy lab
Moisture Stress and the Role of Phytoglobins
Phytoglobins could be used as a tool to predict plant behaviour to excessive moisture, and their manipulation can alter plant performance and increase tolerance during both flooding and drought.
Enhancing Soybean Storage Starts with Harvest Moisture
A moisture content of about 13 percent at harvest is optimal for mitigating mechanical damage.
Developing Safe Storage Guidelines for Manitoba-Grown Soybeans
Soybean kernels need to be dried to a safe moisture level (13%) to avoid spoilage and to ensure safe storage.
Recent Dry Bean Variety Developments Improve Disease Resistance in Manitoba
Developing improved varieties with a particular focus on disease resistance.
In Search of the Soybean Cyst Nematode
The Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) is among the top, if not number one, damaging diseases of soybean in North America.
Prairie Fava’s Hailey Jefferies
This story begins with a car accident and gets more interesting from there. Arlene Dickinson from Dragon’s Den is involved, and at some point the movie Silence of the Lambs is mentioned in reference to fava beans.
