Pulse weekly outlook: Saskatchewan crops growing well despite threats

By Adam Peleshaty – MarketsFarm, GFM Network News July 26, 2022

MarketsFarm – Pulse crops across Saskatchewan are growing well for the most part, but not in every corner of the province, according to the province’s own specialist. Dale Risula, special crops specialist for Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Agriculture, said this year’s pulse crops are looking much better than those in last year’s drought, which he called

Scout early for blight in peas

High moisture makes diligence even more important this season

By Don Norman July 22, 2022

Manitoba agronomists recommend that farmers scout now for mycosphaerella blight in field pea crops. High moisture conditions this year are likely to result in more disease pressure. “The scouting time would be right around early flowering and some fields have started to flower already,” said Dennis Lange, provincial pulse specialist. According to Manitoba Pulse and

New program funds farm emissions reduction practices

Prairie Watersheds Climate Program offers incentives toward control of nitrous oxide emissions; N management field tour coming up July 29

By Don Norman July 21, 2022

A new program is taking aim at agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Last month, the Manitoba Association of Watersheds (MAW) launched the first phase of the Prairie Watersheds Climate Program, a part of the federal government’s On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF). That’s a $200 million, three-year fund (from 2021 to 2024) that underwrites 12 different programs

Biostimulants sometimes have a big effect but a multi-year study by Farming Smarter found only a modest yield bump in peas, nothing much for wheat and nothing at all for canola, said researcher Gurbir Dhillon.

It’s still ‘wait and see’ country when it comes to biostimulants

A multi-year study has found some products work sometimes on some crops, but it’s hit and miss

By James Snell July 20, 2022

Biostimulants work. Sort of. Sometimes. Depending. Dubbed the ‘vitamin supplements of farming,’ there are a wide range of biostimulants and they work — or don’t — in a host of different ways. Sometimes they’re worth applying and sometimes not, a three-year study by Farming Smarter suggests. “We did see an increase in yield for some crops, especially field

Pulse weekly outlook: Manitoba’s crops in ‘better situation’ than last year

Lost acreage still a question mark

MarketsFarm — Despite varied amounts of rainfall across the southern half of Manitoba over the past few weeks, pulses are faring quite well according to the province’s pulse specialist. Dennis Lange, who’s based at Altona, said while peas in fields with excessive moisture are struggling, those grown in adequate moisture and lighter soils are in

Hail damage rescue treatments ineffective

Recent research shows treating hail-damaged crops with nutrients or fungicides does nothing to increase yields after damage

By Don Norman July 18, 2022

Every summer, the perennial question is raised of whether to apply rescue treatment to crops damaged by hail. And every summer, the question was unanswered. Until now. At a recent Crop Talk webinar, Manitoba Agriculture soil fertility expert John Heard drew attention to an Alberta study that sought to find an answer. “I can report today on some

Manitoba’s crop diversification centres are well on their way to harvesting another crop of data from trials at their respective sites. Seeding is all or nearly complete at all diversification centres. Staff faced the same wet-weather challenges as many farmers throughout the province. The centres, located in four different climatic zones, all experienced wet and

Pulse weekly outlook: Pea bids slip as new crop looms

MarketsFarm — Top-end yellow and green pea bids in Western Canada have come down over the past month, as old-crop activity slows down and attention turns to the new crop. While tight supplies after the 2021 drought did not leave too many unpriced peas in the countryside, some farmers likely still waited too late and
