Emergence Rates
• Ontario - 75% in good conditions, 60% in average conditions
• 50%-60% emergence is common in research reports
Emergence Rates
• Seedbed firmness • Moisture • Temperature • Soil texture • Depth of seeding • Seed vigour
• Amount of fertilizer with seed
• Seed treatment • Insects • Diseases • Other climate factors
Ideal Plant Stand
• 75-130 plants/m2 , 14-25 plants/m of row on 7.5” rows
• 7-13 plants/ft2 , 4.5-6 plants/ft of row
• At 10 plants/ft2 you have best chance of achieving yield potential
• Yield potential is decreased at 5 plants/ft2
Seeding Rate and Emergence
5440 seeded in 7.5” rows: • 1000 seed wt = 4.74 g • At 5 lb/ac will seed 6.9 seeds/ft
75% emergence 5.17 plants/ft 60% emergence 4.14 plants/ft
Ideal Stand: 4.5 – 6 per ft
of row
Seeding Rate and Emergence
5440 seeded in 7.5”rows: • 1000 seed wt = 4.74 g • At 6 lb/ac will seed 8.2 seeds/ft
75% emergence 6.15 plants/ft 60% emergence 4.92 plants/ft
Ideal Stand: 4.5 – 6 per ft
of row
Stand Uniformity
• Planting speed impacts seeding accuracy • Variable planting depth • Is the drill level? • Seed openers • Seed bed • Soil temperature
Stand Uniformity 16 sites across Western Canada Compare uniform and non-uniform stands of 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 plants/m2
Yield difference for uniform vs non-uniform stands at same densities At low yielding sites
• 80 plants/m2 7% yield difference • 20 plants/m2 32% yield difference At high yielding sites • 60 plants/m2 or lower 21% yield difference

Swede Midge
Swede Midge • 2015 – high levels of damage in New Liskeard area, good yields
across other growing regions
• Overall low acreage across Ontario as a result of swede midge levels
Swede Midge Monitoring
Adults live 3-4 days, lay eggs soon after emergence, hatch in 3 days. If you see damage, it was caused by eggs laid a week or more ago.
• Monitor adults • Emerge in mid to late May, peak in early June
• 4 traps required for each field for reliable monitoring • Monitor traps 2-3x per week
Swede Midge Monitoring • 1st spray when capture 20 swede midge total • Spray again when average 5 adults/trap/day • 7 days between sprays
• do not use Coragen if using Lumiderm seed treatment
2015 trap results in Casey Township (near Timiskaming)

Swede Midge – Best Practices
Best Practices: • Long rotations; 4 years • Early planting, fast early growth • Control cruciferous weeds and volunteer canola through
rotation • Shepherd’s purse, yellow rocket, stinkweed, mustard,
radish

Adzuki
• Not the same species as other common beans • Vigna angularis
• Only one variety – Eramo • Hard seed coat • Some tolerance to white mould and drought conditions • Later maturing than white bean (102-110 days)
Volunteer Adzuki Beans
• Soybeans biggest challenge
• Corn and Forages good rotational crops to deal with volunteers

White Mould • More of an issue in dry beans than soybean • Wide rows allow air flow • Scout as crop is coming into flower:
• Has it been raining/rain expected, and is the soil wet? • Is the crop thick and the canopy full? • What is the price of beans and can I cover the cost to
spray?
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) • Lower impact on dry beans than soybeans, generally
• Small bean types typically have lower cyst scores • Black beans seem to be most tolerant • Larger beans (kidney, cran) may increase field SCN levels
• Adzuki are more susceptible to SCN than soybean
