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.
