🌱 Be on top of your crop this harvest!

As harvest approaches, knowing your crop’s growth stage and maturity is key to making the right decisions in the field.

We’ve put together staging, maturity, desiccation and harvest guides for soybeans, field peas, dry beans and faba beans — all in one place!

👉 Check out the guides here:

It might seem out of place to be talking about growth staging guides in August. Field pea harvest has started and some dry bean crops have already been undercut. But, there are a lot of important p…

What’s happening in Western Manitoba fields as we head toward harvest?

MPSG Production Agronomist Wendy McDonald has been out scouting fields and shares her latest observations, including:

🐞 Soybean aphids are showing up in some fields — with populations varying significantly within fields, making repeated scouting important.
🌿 Natural predators, including lady beetle larvae, are also hard at work helping keep aphid populations in check.
💧 Drought stress is becoming visible in some areas, particularly on lighter soils and ridges.
🦠 Wendy also spotted symptoms of bacterial blight, suspected Phytophthora root rot and other leaf diseases during her field scouting.
🌾 And harvest is officially getting underway, with peas, oats and forage grasses coming off across parts of Western Manitoba!

Plus, Wendy shares some interesting observations from the MCDC tour near Carberry, the MPSG Dry Bean Research Tour at AAFC Morden and her soybean disease survey work.

What’s happening in Eastern Manitoba fields this week?

MPSG Production Agronomist Terry Buss shares his latest observations, including:

🌿 Soybeans moving through R5 and into R6
🌧️ Timely August rainfall providing a potential late-season yield boost
🐞 Soybean aphids continuing to be monitored as the crop approaches R6
🦠 Septoria brown spot remains the most common soybean disease, while white mould continues to be observed at relatively low levels
