Farmers throughout Manitoba are investing resources and time incorporating soybean residues in the fall using varying amounts of tillage. This contrasts with current residue management practices in other growing regions in Canada in the US where farmers most often direct seed subsequent crops into soybean stubble.
The purpose of this project is to evaluate residue management strategies for soybeans in Manitoba. Given the increasing number of farmers and acres of soybean production in Manitoba, this project could have a significant impact on land management and the allocation of time and resources on farms throughout Manitoba.
