Trial Reports (by Crop Type)

PESAI is one of many sites that are part of the MCVET, which facilitates variety evaluations of many different crop types in this province. PESAI managed two MCVET sites (Arborg and Beausejour) during 2018 growing season. The purpose of the MCVET variety evaluation 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 2018, PESAI did variety trials in Spring wheat, Oats, Barley and Soybean (both Roundup Ready and Conventional) at both sites. Winter wheat, Fall rye, Peas, Silage corn, Hemp and Flax variety evaluations were conducted only at Arborg site (See Table 1). From each MCVET site across the province, yearly data is collected, combined, and summarized in the ‘Seed Manitoba’ guide. Hard copies are available at most Manitoba Agriculture and Ag Industry Offices. Seed Manitoba guide and the websites www.seedinteractive.ca and www.seedmb.ca, provide valuable variety performance information for Manitoba farmers.

Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET) facilitate variety evaluations of many different crop types in this province. PESAI managed three MCVET sites (Arborg, Beausejour and Stonewall) during 2016-17 season. The purpose of the MCVET variety evaluation 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 2016-17, PESAI did variety trials in Winter Wheat, Spring Wheat, Fall Rye, Oats, Barley, and Soybean (both Roundup Ready and Conventional) at all the three sites. Grain corn and flax variety testing were done at Stonewall site, whereas Fababeans, Peas, Silage corn and Canola variety evaluation were conducted only at Arborg site (See Table 1). From each MCVET site across the province, yearly data is created, combined, and summarized in the ‘Seed Manitoba 2017’ guide. Hard copies are available at most Manitoba Agriculture and Ag Industry Offices.

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.
