Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Long Season and Short Season Soy Variety Trial
Crop Type(s):
Soybean
Centre(s):
PCDF
Year(s):
2021
Collaborators(s):
Laurie Friesen, SPG
Objective(s):
To evaluate long and short season soybean entries for the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG).
Background:
(Adapted from the SPG website): Soybeans are photosensitive and latitude greatly affects day length. For this reason, varieties are bred for specific north-south ranges of adaptation, typically in a range of 150 to 250 kilometres. Growing a variety north of its maturity band may delay maturity and it will be at a great risk of not reaching full maturity prior to frost. The test examines long and short season (i.e., most northern-adapted) glyphosate-tolerant soybean lines.
