By
Scientists are continuing to discover just what a difficult foe the weed Palmer amaranth can be. It can cause yield losses as high as 80 per cent for soybean growers and has already developed resistance to six classes of herbicide since its discovery in North America 100 years ago. It’s recently been found in North

British no-tillers worry about potential loss of glyphosate

But Tom Sewell says he’ll still find a way to continue his no-till system

A soybean isn’t a soybean anymore

With more varieties to choose and new technologies to use, growers must ask more questions about what to grow — and what their neighbours are putting in

More soybean crops for Manitoba this summer mean farmers must be extra vigilant about what everyone else is planting, says a provincial pulse crops specialist. In a talk dubbed ‘A soybean isn’t a soybean anymore,’ during St. Jean Farm Days, Manitoba Agriculture pulse crops specialist Dennis Lange and farm production specialist Terry Buss cautioned farmers

Palmer amaranth warning issued in North Dakota

The invasive weed is also really good at developing herbicide resistance

By
North Dakota extension personnel are warning farmers on that side of the border of the arrival of the invasive weed Palmer amaranth. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture and North Dakota State University Extension Service are advising farmers to scout new conservation plantings for Palmer amaranth, a very aggressive weed that has plagued cropland production

New York Times findings on GM crops disputed

A Times study concludes GM crops don’t yield more than conventional ones, 
but two Canadian agricultural economists found GM crops are worth billions

By
Genetically modified (GM) crops haven’t increased yields or reduced pesticide use as promised by developers, according to a study conducted by the New York Times published Oct. 29. But a Canadian study shows biotechnology, which includes genetic modification and new hybridization techniques in canola, boosted yields and put billions of extra dollars into farmers’ pockets.
