Research has shown that the variability in crop yield response to seeding date can often be attributed to environmental conditions experienced by the crop at important developmental or physiological stages, which vary with year and location Producers would benefit in better understanding the effect…Read More
Sustainable soybean cropping systems for western Manitoba
Soybeans have become an integral part of the cropping mix on Manitoba farms; however, little research information is available about longer-term effects of including soybean in rotation A better understanding of the effects of rotation on agronomic and economic performance may help growers identify…Read More
