I don't think Pioneer has anything early enough for Klause's area.

Thanks, MBgrower. Want this kind of discussion.

We need Valtera for Kochia control.


The reason we want to use Assure II is for its activity on foxtail barley, big problem here if there's thistle Bassagran works real well.


We will be planting with a drill, not an air seeder. Going to go for 250K pop.


Remember, we grew beans and grew good yields in Manitoba with Warrens and then not so good yields with Pekkos - not a newbie to beans



What do you use for your innoculants? I'm looking at liquid applied peat with two different strains.

Have you used TagTeam on them? Any gain?


Our drill is setup for 6"-6"--12"-6"-6"--12" which is what we will be using here.


varieties will be planted in two sets to replicate. 12' spacing between varieties.

Other thing, MB, what's your experience with the different seed treatments? We always used Cruiser but now there's many different ones available... Cruiser seemed to have a bit more pop up effect?

[Braveheart]

Re Pekkos, if I remember right you were at Dauphin? Pekkos might have been too early for there.

I saw a field of Pekkos this year near Treherne that were amazing.

soy need good soil fertility but you wont get response with direct application of fertilizer,invest in good weed control,30yrs growing IP soybean

pioneer has 2 early ones 001's are crazy early and 002's are more like a 2310 I think. 002's will yield better than the 01's i think there are lots of pretty good early varieties now. I do know 2310 is a very solid variety that was ready to harvest 120 days after seeding and we are in a fringe soy area. They yielded very well for us.

U got rocks klaus? Might need to flatten the ground for your fancy flex head. Low pods suck.

I use 3/4 rate liquid inoc plus full rate granular at 4lbs/acre. Granular gives superior nodulation, most farmers here use it. Also treat with appron or cruiser max. Dont see too much difference in emergence, cruiser maybe better overall , but more expensive. I order my seed pretreated, to ensure even application on seed.

We grow Thunder 04 with cruiser and liquid inoculant as well as jumpstart and powder inoculant. High yield early.
