Soybean
‹ Previous Next ›Evaluation of different Inoculants on the Soybean Productivity (2016)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
Soybeans grown in Manitoba are usually inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum to ensure adequate bacteria populations are present to maximize nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Soybean farmers in Manitoba have a variety of inoculant choices available. The effectiveness of different inoculant types, however, is not fully understood in the various soybean-growing regions in Manitoba.
The current study is planned to determine if there is any additional yield benefit to:
1. Using in-furrow granular inoculant (instead of seed-applied liquid)
2. Double inoculating (seed-applied liquid + granular in-furrow) (compared to seed-applied liquid only)
3. Increasing the rate of inoculant (from 1x to 2x)
4. Using "enhanced" inoculant products
Foliar Strategies to Generate Severe Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) in Small Plot Research Trials (2021)
Crop Types: Forages, Oilseeds, Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
- To evaluate a method of forcing symptoms of iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) in soybean research trials across the Interlake and Red River Valley regions on Manitoba.
- In addition, to directly compare the yield response of IDC resistant and IDC susceptible cultivars (grouped) in response to the applied forcing treatment. IDC is a major stress factor that severely reduces the yield potential of soybeans grown upon calcareous, high pH soils in Manitoba.
How Deep are your Roots (2019)
Crop Types: Canola, Corn, Hemp, Oats, Soybean, Sunflower
Centre(s): CMCDC
To demonstrate the crop rooting depths of
1- Soybean
2- Corn
3- Canola
4- Oats
5- Hemp
6- Sunflowers
Intercropping with soybeans and peas (2019)
Crop Types: Peas, Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
1. Gain experience in intercropping: observe and evaluate agronomic performance of intercropping compared to mono-cropping
2. Evaluate yield potential, land use equivalency and profitability of intercropping compared to mono-cropping
3. Overall, start a knowledge base on if and how intercrops can be utilized in cropping systems in the Interlake
Intercropping with Soybeans and Peas (2019-2020)
Crop Types: Peas, Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
1. Gain experience in intercropping: observe and evaluate agronomic performance of intercropping compared to mono-cropping
2. Evaluate yield potential, land use equivalency and profitability of intercropping compared to mono-cropping
3. Overall, start a knowledge base on if and how intercrops can be utilized in cropping systems in the Interlake
Late planting of early-maturing soybeans in Manitoba (2015-2017)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
Soybean varieties currently available in Manitoba range in maturity from 107-123 days. The relatively recent availability of very early maturing soybeans could allow farmers to plant beyond current seeding deadlines. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential for planting soybeans beyond current seeding deadlines. Three soybean varieties of varying maturity (very early, early and mid) were evaluated within three seeding windows (normal, late and very late) in each of the three crop insurance test areas of Manitoba.

Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET Trials) (2019)
Crop Types: Barley, Corn, Flax, Hemp, Oats, Peas, Rye, Soybean, Wheat, Winter Wheat
Centre(s): PESAI
The purpose of the MCVET variety evaluation trials is to grow both familiar (check varieties) and new varieties side by side in a replicated manner in order to compare and contrast various variety characteristics such as yield, maturity, protein content, disease tolerance, and many others.
Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET) (2017)
Crop Types: Barley, Fababeans, Flax, Oats, Peas, Rye, Soybean, Wheat
Centre(s): CMCDC, PCDF, PESAI, WADO
Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET) facilitates variety evaluations of many different crop types in this province. PCDF’s unique position on the Manitoba Saskatchewan border provides it with opportunities to also work with the Saskatchewan Variety
Performance Group.
The purpose of the MCVET and SVPG trials is to grow both familiar (checks or reference) and new varieties side by side in a replicated manner in order to compare and contrast various variety characteristics such as yield, maturity, protein content, disease tolerance, and many others.
During 2017, PCDF did variety trials in Spring wheat, Fall Rye, Oats, Barley, Faba beans, Flax, Soybeans (both RoundUp Ready and conventional) and Peas. The Winter Wheat trial was discontinued due to spray drift damage, and one Spring Wheat trial was discontinued due to weed issues.
From each MCVET site across the province, yearly data is collected, combined, and summarized in the ‘Seed Manitoba 2017’ guide. Hard copies are available at most Manitoba Agriculture and Ag Industry Offices.
