To determine if optimum seeding rates differ by crop type and for individual varieties and to assist producers with the annual question of what target plant stands and seeding rates to aim for regarding newer spring cereal varieties. This project was conducted at four Manitoba Agriculture diversification centres in Manitoba including at Carberry, Arborg, Roblin and Melita.
The cumulative results of the two years for this project will be available at a later date. This report concerns only the structure of the trial for 2018.
