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.

Space It Till You Make It (2019)
Crop Types:
Centre(s): CMCDC
To demonstrate the impact of different plant populations, and row spacing
Spring Wheat-Cover Crop (Year 1 and 2) (2020-2021)
Crop Types: Wheat
Centre(s): PCDF
To evaluate intercropping potential for wheat and clovers.
Straight Cut Canola Variety Trial (2017-2019)
Crop Types: Canola
Centre(s): WADO
To evaluate performance of straight cut canola seed varieties currently available to farmers on
the Prairies.
Sunflower Adaptation Evaluation (2018)
Crop Types: Sunflower
Centre(s): CMCDC
Evaluate newly registered oil and confection type sunflower varieties for adaptation and yield performance in the Central Plains region of Manitoba. In 2018 CMCDC did not grow any confectionary sunflowers.
