Seeding Date The window to seed soybeans is flexible throughout the month of May in Manitoba. Aim to seed during the second to third weeks of May to maximize soybean yield while reducing the risks associated with cold soil and late spring frost. From 2017-2019, Kristen MacMillan, UM-MPSG Agronomist-in-Residence evaluated four seeding windows at Arborg, Carman, Dauphin and Melita. Soybean yields did not differ among seeding dates from May 1 to May 24, but yields were reduced by 15%, on average, when seeding was delayed until May 31 – June 4. Very early seeding, during the week of April 28 – May 6 was risky. Late spring frosts occurred in two years and soil temperatures during this window were as low as 0°C, causing plant stand reductions and reducing yield by up to 19% at some sites. Report ? From 2017-2021, Dr. Ramona Mohr, AAFC-Brandon evaluated two seeding date windows, among other factors like residue management at Carberry, Brandon and Indian Head. Seeding dates of May 8 to 14 i
Field pea seeding is underway in Manitoba with some producers having all their pea acres in, with most fields not reaching emergence yet. With the incredibly warm weekend weather, some earlier sown fields are emerging at VE staging, where the epicotyl has reached through the soil surface. For pea seeding tips check out last weeks Bean Report ? Soybean seeding progress is limited in Manitoba, with some fields seeded. The question is very common, “is it too soon to seed my soybeans?” Soybean seeding tips to consider can be found in this edition of the Bean report, with results from Manitoba focused research. MPSG’s On-Farm Network trials are getting established and notably last week a soybean seeding and speed trial near Sperling was seeded.
