Soybeans

High oleic soybean oil may be useful in the food industry. It is low in saturated fat and linoleic acid, contains no trans fat and has high heat stability, increased fry time, and extended shelf life. For growers, there would be little difference in agronomic terms or yield performance compared to regular soybean varieties.

By
High oleic soybean varieties may not be coming to Western Canada any time soon, but if and when they do, they will offer growers a bit of a premium. “We have a long history in southern Ontario of growing IP (identity preserved) soybeans or soybeans for special end use markets, and some of those markets […] Read more

Soybean growers should be aware of some agronomy recommendations. Soybeans require a bacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, to create nitrogen-fixing nodules on its roots. The bacteria that forms nodules on soybean roots is not found naturally in soils in Western Canada, so inoculation is necessary. If the plant has poor nodulation, it must rely on nitrogen present […] Read more

Do soybeans need phosphorus?

Phosphorus fertilizer won’t increase soybean yield, but good strategies can maintain fertility

By
Soybeans are efficient feeders for soil phosphorus (P) and in most cases growers are not going to see an increase in yield from additional P fertilization, regardless of the soil test P, according to research trials in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Since 2013, Dr. Don Flaten and Gustavo Bardella of the University of Manitoba, together with […] Read more
