Research Objectives
The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of growing field pea and/or soybean in rotation on the performance of cropping systems in western Manitoba.
Goals over the initial 3-year phase of the study are:
to determine the short-term effect of crop sequence on disease, nutrient dynamics, and crop yield and quality; and
to generate a reliable, research-based dataset of production and economic information for a range of crop rotations to assess the profitability and production risk associated with each rotation.
By generating information regarding the relative performance of a range of cropping systems, this study aims to provide producers with a means to reduce production and economic risk while diversifying their farming operations.
