Successful Desiccation Decisions in Peas and Beans
Crop desiccation has become an increasingly hot topic. In part due to consumer demand for pesticide-free products, variable maximum residue limits (MRLs) across export markets and the negative spotlight on glyphosate.
It doesn’t mean desiccation is off-limits. But we need to understand the limitations of late-season herbicide. Especially when it comes to crops destined for human consumption, including field peas and dry edible beans.

Harvest Header Losses in Soybeans
A Research Update from PAMI
Today’s combines are well designed to minimize threshing losses when harvesting soybeans; however, there can still be significant losses at the header (accounting for 80% of the losses).
PAMI has conducted several field-scale research projects to determine which factors affect header losses most in order to provide farmers with management strategies for reducing risk by minimizing losses.

What Challenges Will Producers Face This Upcoming Spring?
There are five important factors that producers will need to consider on a field by field basis as they plan their spring: weather, equipment, soil test levels, residue and unique field characteristics.
Thinking Spring Inputs: Setting soybeans up for success
Spring input decision-making can be stressful. Decisions about soybean seeding rate, inoculant and seed treatment can all affect yield, and certainly your bottom line. MPSG production knowledge and On-Farm Network (OFN) research offer information to help guide these decisions.
The Bean Report – Fitting Pulses and Soybeans into Your Crop Rotation
The recommended practice to combat many agronomic issues is to diversify your crop rotation. But what is considered a “good” rotation and how do pulse and soybean crops fit in?
