Selecting IDC-tolerant soybeans doesn’t reduce yield, Manitoba study confirms
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) often affects only parts of a field — but you’re buying a variety for the whole field
Farm sustainability means farmer wellness too
University of Manitoba researchers want to talk farm succession, self-efficacy and community supports as part of agriculture wellness and sustainability study
University of Manitoba LEAP program wants to talk farm succession, self-efficacy and community supports as part of agriculture wellness and sustainability study.
Students push for Manitoba road upgrades
Gaps in Manitoba’s RTAC heavy-haul highway network were highlighted in a recent resolution to Keystone Agriculutural Producers
Manitoba’s lack of higher-rated RTAC roads creates irritating highway detours and weight restrictions for farmers, University of Manitoba students told KAP.
Cereal cover crops show mixed flea beetle protection for canola
Fall rye and oat nurse crops show promise for reducing damage, however, current research notes it's not yet a reliable field-scale tool
University of Manitoba researchers are testing if planting fall rye and oat nurse crops help growers reduce damage without hurting yield.
Manitoba corn research looks for home-based weed control
Growers currently rely on U.S. or Ontario recommendations, but a U of M study is hunting for better advice with local conditions in mind
University of Manitoba researchers want corn growers to have Manitoba-based weed control advice, not U.S. or Ontario-based recommendations.
Researchers chase resistance to bacterial leaf streak
Manitoba researchers are testing whether known resistance genes can be effective against bacterial leaf streak in cereal crops
Bacterial leaf streak is re-emerging in cereal crops on Canada’s Prairies. With no fungicides or resistant varieties, researchers are testing plant genes for future control of the disease.
Shaky trade ground threatens efforts to build Canadian agriculture
Trade uncertainty is freezing billions in agriculture investment across Canada and may pose more threat than tariffs themselves
Trade uncertainty is freezing billions in agriculture investment across Canada, which may threaten export-oriented Manitoba farms more than the tariffs spurring the uncertainty in the first place, experts tell Fields on Wheels conference.
Manitoba tick study focuses on testing, other carriers for anaplasmosis
University of Manitoba researchers look into effects of tick and fly diseases in cattle, seek ranchers to participate
Manitoba research explores anaplasmosis transmission from ticks and, maybe, flies, as well as laying hopeful groundwork for a better test to detect infection in cattle.
Cutting nitrogen in dry beans could pay off for farmers
Manitoba trials test whether farmers can apply less nitrogen to dry beans without losing yield, despite their typically poor nitrogen-fixing capacity
Manitoba research is testing whether applying less nitrogen fertilizer in dry beans can maintain yields while cutting costs and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
