Trial Reports (by Crop Type)
Soybean
‹ Previous Next ›MCVET Variety Evaluations (2019)
Crop Types: Barley, Corn, Dry Beans, Lentils, Oats, Peas, Rye, Soybean, Sunflower, Wheat, Winter Wheat
Centre(s): WADO
The purpose the MCVET variety evaluations is to grow of 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.
PESAI Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET Trials) (2019)
Crop Types: Barley, Canola, Flax, Oats, Rye, Soybean, Wheat, Winter Wheat
Centre(s): PESAI
PESAI is one of the many contractors that are part of the MCVET program, which facilitates variety evaluations of many different crop types in this province. PESAI managed two MCVET sites (Arborg and Beausejour) during 2019 growing season.
The purpose of the MCVET variety evaluation trials are 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.
Protein content in conventional soybean varieties and comparison of their genetic potential with geo-environmental characteristics (2018-2023)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): WADO
1. To determine protein content differences among 20 conventional soybean varieties across
seasons and locations.
2. To compare the genetic potential of conventional soybean varieties with geo-environmental
characteristics.

RR Soybean Adaptation Trials (2018)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): CMCDC
Evaluate soybean variety performance & adaptation to the Carberry and Portage la Prairie regions of the Central plains.
Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Long Season and Short Season Soy Variety Trial (2021)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PCDF
To evaluate long and short season soybean entries for the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG).
Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Soy Variety Evaluation (2020)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PCDF

Soil-Based Methods to Screen Soybean Plants for Resistance to Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) and Seedling Vigor on Calcareous Manitoba Soils (2020-2021)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
The objective of this project is to develop an improved growth chamber or greenhouse method to enable rapid screening of soybean seedlings for resistance to iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC). IDC is a major stress factor impacting the yield potential and profitability of soybean production in the Interlake and Eastman regions of Manitoba.
Soybean – (Year 3 of a 6-Year Crop Rotation) (2020)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PCDF
To assess the economic and agronomic impact of a 6-year rotation, using integrated management practices.
Soybean Seeding Depth Evaluation (2017-2019)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
The objective of this study is to identify the optimum seeding depth for soybeans in Manitoba. The current recommendation is to seed soybeans between 0.75 and 1.5 inches based on guidelines from other regions. However, dry spring soil conditions often lead agronomists and farmers to ‘chase moisture’ and seed soybeans at 1.75 inches or deeper as has occurred in 2017 and 2018. Observations on the success of this practice have been mixed - delayed emergence is a frequent observation and reduced emergence has occurred in some but not all cases. On the other hand, very wet soil conditions have led some farmers to broadcast and incorporate their seed. The yield impact (if any) of deep and shallow seeding is currently unknown in Manitoba and western Canada.
