Soybean Pod Height: Influence of Genetics, Environment and Management
What influences soybean pod height and what we can do about it? In this Bean Report, we explore the impact of genetics, environment and management (G x E x M).
Healthy Soil: More Than Just Dirt
Marla Riekman, Soil Management Specialist, Manitoba Agriculture SOIL IS MORE than its short, four-letter name might imply. Without soil, we…
Soybean Cyst Nematode
The presence of Soybean Cyst Nematode has been confirmed in Manitoba.
Preventative action, early detection and timely management are key in avoiding significant yield loss from SCN.
Agri-Science Clusters – Now, That’s Collaboration!
MPSG has signed on to three Agri-Science Clusters with one more being finalized. Each one links researchers across Canada to work on issues important to Manitoba
Risk Assessment of Wireworms in Manitoba Fields
Wireworms and recent on-going research in Manitoba for this pest.
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.
