Optimizing crop rotations to enhance agronomic, economic and environmental performance
Read MoreFrequency of soybean in Manitoba crop rotations
Crop rotations in Manitoba have shifted significantly in the past 10 years with the rapid expansion in soybean acres This has raised important questions about the opportunities and implications on how to optimize soybean in rotation with other crops, such as canola, wheat, and corn that are…Read More
Crop rotation affects disease suppressive soil microbiomes
In this project, a crop rotation study was conducted at two field sites (Morden, Manitoba and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) in the 2021 and 2022 cropping seasons A total of 9 crop combinations/treatments, including cereals (Maize, Wheat, Barley, Durum), pulses (Lentil, Pea and Soybeans) and oilseeds…Read More
Defining pathogen related soil quality targets for annual legumes to pursue through crop rotation
Given the increasing disease risks to soybean in Manitoba, it is essential to help producers better plan their crop rotations, ie, by determining the pathogens affecting production Our objectives were to assess the effect of soybean frequency in crop rotations on soybean disease status, and to…Read More
Development of an integrated weed management (IWM) package to mitigate and manage glyphosate-resistance weeds in soybean
General trends among this suite of experiments suggest that agronomic practices used to promote greater soybean yield under weed-free conditions tend to also result in higher yields when under weed interference Environmental conditions played a strong driving role in the efficacy of the various…Read More
