Determining Optimum Target Plant Stands for Spring Wheat in Manitoba (2018)
Crop Types: Wheat
Centre(s): CMCDC
To determine if optimum seeding rates differ by crop type and for individual varieties and to assist producers with the annual question of what target plant stands and seeding rates to aim for regarding newer spring cereal varieties. This project was conducted at four Manitoba Agriculture diversification centres in Manitoba including at Carberry, Arborg, Roblin and Melita.
Determining the Optimum Seeding Window for Soybeans in Manitoba (2017-2019)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): PESAI
The objective of this study is to determine the optimum seeding window for soybeans across Manitoba growing regions. Traditional recommendations are to plant soybeans when soil temperature has warmed to at least 10°C, which is typically May 15-25 in Manitoba (Manitoba Agriculture). However, farmers have started to seed soybeans earlier and recent work by Dr. Yvonne Lawley and Cassandra Tkachuk (2017) supports this trend. They evaluated seeding dates across a range of soil temperatures from 6 to 14°C in 2014 and 2015; the earliest seeding dates maximized yield regardless of soil temperature and it was concluded that calendar date is a superior indicator. To update seeding date recommendations across a wider range of environments and using defined calendar dates, this study was initiated at Arborg, Carman, Dauphin and Melita in 2017 and will continue through 2019.

The objective of this study is to determine the optimum seeding window for soybeans across Manitoba growing regions. Traditional recommendations are to plant soybeans when soil temperature has warmed to at least 10°C, which is typically May 15-25 in Manitoba (Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development). However, farmers have started to seed soybeans earlier and recent work by Dr. Yvonne Lawley and Cassandra Tkachuk (2017) supports this trend. They evaluated seeding dates across a range of soil temperatures from 6 to 14°C in 2014 and 2015; the earliest seeding dates maximized yield regardless of soil temperature and it was concluded that calendar date is a superior indicator. To update seeding date recommendations across a wider range of environments and using defined calendar dates, this study was initiated at Arborg, Carman, Dauphin and Melita in 2017 and 2019 was the last year of testing.
Determining the optimum seeding window for soybeans in Manitoba (2017-2019)
Crop Types: Soybean
Centre(s): WADO
The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum seeding window for soybeans across
Manitoba growing regions.
Determining yield potential of annual forages/cover crop mixtures in the Interlake region of Manitoba (2021)
Crop Types: Forages
Centre(s): PESAI
This project was planned to determine yield potential of four annual forages when grown in combination with cover crop mixture (TG Extend). Forage quality comparisons were also done in the test.
Developing a Risk Model to Improve the Effectiveness of Fusarium Head Blight Mitigation in Western Canada (2018-2023)
Crop Types: Barley, Durum, Wheat, Winter Wheat
Centre(s): PESAI
- To develop weather-based models to assess the risk of FHB infection and DON in spring wheat,
winter wheat, barley and durum crops with different FHB resistance ratings.
- To develop an interactive prairie-wide viewer and FHB/DON risk-mapping tool that is accessible
to producers and industry to assist with fungicide application decisions.
Development of Agronomic Practices for the Biofumigation Practices in the Central Manitoba (2019)
Crop Types: Mustard
Centre(s): CMCDC
1. [Haider Abbas] Characterize agronomic practices for mustard cultivars ‘Andandte’, ‘Caliente Rojo’, and ‘Cutlass’ necessary to achieve maximum biomass to theoretically maximize glucosinolate production.
2. [Zack Frederick] Evaluate whether mustard biofumigation with “Caliente Rojo” reduces Verticillium dahliae soil CFU and/or Verticillium wilt of potato
Development of decision support tools for Fusarium Head Blight management in Western Canada (2018-2019)
Crop Types: Barley, Durum, Wheat, Winter Wheat
Centre(s): CMCDC
To increase understanding of resulting Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) infection for spring and winter wheat, barley and durum based on the current model.
Does balanced fertility program increases yield of new Winter Wheat varieties? (2019-2020)
Crop Types: Winter Wheat
Centre(s): PESAI
The purpose of this project is to compare standard fertility practices followed by producers (100% spring) with a balanced fertility program. The balanced fertility recommendation is determined by Western Ag lab based on extensive soil analysis.
