Brandon University student Charlotte Smith works in the lab alongside Bryan Cassone, an assistant professor of biology, analyzing DNA to find and identify soybean diseases as part of a three-year study.

Brandon University undertakes soybean disease research

Through large-scale surveys and analytical work, Brandon University  hopes to shed more light on soybean diseases

With more soybeans appearing in more places around the province, Brandon University (BU) has set out to learn more about the potential roadblocks for growers. This summer the university, in partnership with Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) and Manitoba Agriculture, will begin a three-year study to gain more knowledge of soybean diseases, in particular

Soy is a promising antimicrobial agent

New testing shows plant isolates could replace failing chemical agents 

By Manitoba Co-operator Staff May 9, 2016

Forget chemicals. The best antimicrobial available may be natural soy isolates like isoflavones and peptides. That’s according to a new study from University of Guelph researchers who looked at using these materials to inhibit the growth of microbial pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses. Engineering professor, Suresh Neethirajan, director of the university’s BioNano Laboratory, says the

Taking the ‘beaniness’ out of beans

Food processors want the fibre and nutrition of beans, but not the bean flavour

Peter Frohlich calls them “unique” flavours. “Yes, the beany flavours. I personally enjoy those flavours, but a lot of food companies would prefer to have all the nutrition of pulses minus the flavour attributes,” said the project manager for pulses and specials crops at the Canadian International Grains Institute, better known as Cigi. He’s just

Variable-rate seeding next step in precision farming

Seeding & Tillage Focus: Southwest corn grower reports higher yield and lower seed costs

By Angela Lovell April 19, 2016

Boissevain-area farmer Arthur Bell recently stepped up his variable-rate game. After accumulating seven years of experience with VR fertilization, three years ago he decided VR seeding would probably work much the same way and give him similar results. The basic strategy is the same — identify the most and least productive spots in each field

DeKalb agronomist Bruce Murray explained the benefits of Monsanto’s new Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans at the company’s Oakville, Man., plots last June. Monsanto hopes to commercialize the glyphosate and dicamba tolerant soybeans this spring, but seed sales are on hold pending European Union approval.

Canadian launch of Monsanto’s new Xtend soybean on hold pending European Union approval

While Monsanto says approval is imminent, the MPSGA and major exporters don’t want the new variety commercialized until it is fearing Canadian soybean exports to the EU would be jeopardized

By Allan Dawson April 7, 2016

With seeding around the corner, distribution of Monsanto’s new Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans to Canadian farmers is on hold, awaiting European Union (EU) approval. The glyphosate- and dicamba-tolerant soybeans were expected to be approved weeks ago. The Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Association (MPSGA) and major grain companies don’t want Monsanto to release the

Average harvest loss in canola across the Prairies translates into 4,000 to 5,000 potential volunteers per square metre.

Keeping volunteer canola out of soybeans

Inter-row tillage looks like a promising management tool

By Angela Lovell February 17, 2016

The average of six per cent canola seed loss during harvest sounds bad enough, but even worse when converted into the number of seeds left to germinate as volunteers the following year. “We’re losing an average of 4,000 to 5,000 seeds per square metre so it doesn’t take a lot of persistence for volunteer canola

Ontario trials suggest early seeding is the best and cheapest management practice

Intensive management can improve soybean yields, but growers should evaluate whether each strategy pencils out, says a soybean specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Speaking at the Manitoba Agronomists Conference (MAC) in Winnipeg in December, Horst Bohner described more than a decade of research to evaluate various management strategies to
