MCVET would like to express its gratitude to all the provincial grower organizations who provided data for use in Seed Manitoba 2008.

Minister’s Message I am pleased to present Seed Manitoba 2008, a comprehensive tool that will assist you in making informed varietal decisions. All of the traditional crops grown in Manitoba are represented in this publication, as well as specialty crops such as industrial hemp that hold promise of new opportunities. Thirty-two sites across the province have yielded the data that allows you to compare newly registered varieties with the well-established ones. You will find that the data in this guide is in a new format that is easier to read than ever. It was generated by people who planned the crop sites, planted and harvested the crops, provided financial assistance, compiled the results and prepared the material for publication. I wish to thank producers, the seed industry, the crop protection industry, commodity associations, the Manitoba Co-operator, and the staff from Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives who undertook these activities. My department is committed to assisting Manitoba producers become more profitable, and providing leadership for varietal evaluation is one of the ways we are delivering on this promise.

Rosann Wowchuk Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives

President’s Message Growing opportunities in the biofuels community in 2007 provided much financial optimism that the seed and farming industry hasn’t seen for far too long. A prolonged heat wave in the critical growing season resulted in some crop loss and degradation. However, as a rule, across the province, harvests were average to good and the early harvest we experienced provided ample opportunity to maintain excellent crop quality. Regardless of the heat wave, I am pleased to say that seed supplies and quality for the upcoming 2008 growing season are both good in almost all commodities, however be sure to book your orders early to avoid any disappointment as some popular varieties do tend to sell out. Your Manitoba seed producers spend a lot of time, money and effort to ensure that what you plant meets your high expectations for yield and quality. New valuable varieties seem to arrive almost on a daily basis, and your local seed merchant knows the pros and cons of these new developments. Their knowledge and experience are valuable tools for your farm’s success. Seed Manitoba contains information provided by testing done throughout the province by the MCVET team, which is a partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association, as well as being supported by several other producer organizations. On behalf of MCVET, I wish to express our gratitude towards the industry partners and those who advertise in Seed Manitoba, your support for this effort is greatly appreciated. As a result of the merger between the Farmers’ Independent Weekly and the Manitoba Co-operator, the Guide this year is being published by the Manitoba Co-operator. The same team however, is working on the guide, so you can expect the same quality and attention to details that we have counted on in previous guides. The MCVET trials are located in many locations all over the province and the result is an independent, accurate and unbiased account of variety performance in relation to specific Manitoba growing conditions. This valuable resource should be an intricate part of planning your 2008 crop. As producers look towards another year full of its own unique challenges and situations, the resources found within the pages of the Manitoba Seed Guide will be there to aid in making some of those critical decisions. The Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association board of directors wishes you good weather and a bountiful harvest in 2008. Randy Court President, MSGA

1 Drainage is a natural soil property based largely on landscape position and refers to the net movement ofwater through the soil profile (i.e. well-drained=upslopes; downward net movement of water; imperfectly-drained=mid/lower slopes; variable movement of water; poorlydrained=potholes/depressions; static or upward net movement of water). 2 Agriculture Capability is a 7-class rating system for land that ranks the severity of limitations to production for dryland agriculture (Class 1=no limitations; Class 7=unsuitable for agriculture). Letters following the class # are modifiers indicating the primary production limitation (D=dense soil; I=high risk of flooding; M=lack of moisture due to low water storage capacity; W=wetness due to drainage limitations; X=two or more minor limitations). Refer to: Land Capability for Agriculture. Report No. 2 Canada Land Inventory, Canada Dept. Regional Economic Expansion. Ottawa. 16 pp. 1965. for more information. 3 Available water holding capacity = the amount of water a soil can hold that is available for crop uptake and growth. As a general rule of thumb, an actively growing crop in late June/early July uses 1/3 of an inch of available water per day.

SEED MANITOBA – 2008

DECEMBER 2007

Making sense of

2007 wheat yields

by Allan Dawson, Manitoba Co-operator staff

Farmers search through Seed Manitoba every year, focused on determining how the newest varieties stack up against the varieties they have been growing. Far too often, they focus on finding the highest yielding variety in the site closest to their farm, ignoring valuable information in the Variety Description table such as long-term yield and improved disease resistance characteristics. This is a common trap that catches many farmers. While Seed Manitoba is full of valuable information that can help farmers select varieties, farmers must put the data into proper context, says Bruce Brolley of Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI) and member of the Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Team (MCVET).

the check, AC Barrie. If your first impression is to say, “Hey that’s the variety I want to grow” based on a 101 per cent yield increase, that is an incorrect interpretation of the data.

“In my area I’d say the large producers, 80 per cent of them are hitting their wheat every year (with fungicides). What we do with MCVET should represent what’s going on out in the field.” CRAIG RIDDELL

Small Data Sets The first, second and often third thing that farmers look at is yield. Yield is not a bad thing, but it must be taken in the correct context. When looking at the “2007 Yield: per cent of AC Barrie,” some varieties have put up some pretty impressive numbers. At Hamiota, the new variety Waskada yielded 201 per cent of

You may still end up growing Waskada, but your decision should be based on improved disease resistance genes and a more modest yield bump over AC Barrie. Regardless of what variety is used as the check, caution must always be used with single

site data. Increased testing provides a clearer picture of how a variety is likely to perform in the field. It’s always dangerous to use one data point to predict with any confidence that the variety will be able to do it again, Brolley says. In the 2007 Average Yield table, the yield of Waskada varies from 93 per cent at Dauphin, 111 per cent at Arborg, 141 per cent at Thornhill, 151 per cent at Boissevain and 201 per cent at Hamiota. Averaged over the five sites, Waskada yielded 129 per cent of AC Barrie, which is probably still too high, but with continued testing we will get a better feel for its true yield potential. The more site years a variety is tested, the more dependable the data, especially if data is collected over more than one growing season. Winnipeg-based Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AFCC) wheat breeder Stephen Fox also cautions farmers to be careful when reviewing the 2007 wheat yield results. For example, MCVET data shows one of the varieties he helped develop, Waskada, yielded 29 per cent more than AC Barrie. “I don’t believe it’s 29 per cent more than Barrie (in yield),” he said.” I might believe half of that (15 per cent ).”

Precision It’s big, it’s tough, and it’s unbelievably precise. Whether you’re using the 84-foot toolbar or a smaller model, a Seed Hawk seeding system makes every seed and fertilizer granule count with individual depth control on every seed and fertilizer opener.

Although MCVET has yield plots at 11 locations, first year entries are tested at just five. Here’s why. Varieties are usually dropped from testing after 33 site-years of data is collected. That’s three years of testing at 11 sites. But often seed for newly registered varieties is not widely available the first year. MCVET wants to publish current data for a newer variety in the fourth year after registration so farmers can consider current data. Farmers must remember to take yield results from first-year entries with a large ‘grain of salt,’ as yields from individual sites or even one year’s data from five sites (five site years) just isn’t enough data to give a good read on how the variety may perform in the field. History (and logic) has shown that as high yielding varieties undergo more testing, their yield only goes one way – down, says Brolley. Trials can be scientifically sound, yet still be misleading — unless they are taken into proper context. Producers can’t go too far wrong using the long-term yield data from the Variety Description table as most of the data has been collected over numerous sites and — except for brand new varieties — over more than one growing season. Yields from varieties that have data from more than 20 site years are the best indication of its true performance in the field.

Interpreting high yields So how should you interpret this 101 per cent yield increase? A 101 per cent increase sounds like someone made a mistake with the data or this is some sort of futuristic plant on steroids. The Hamiota site is scientifically sound with a CV, which measures the amount of random variation at the site, of 9.1 per cent. That is well under the threshold of 15 per cent, meaning true yield differences exist between varieties at the site. As for the theory of some sort of super plant, let’s have a closer look at the data. Looking at the grey CHECK YIELD box at the bottom of the 2007 Yield Table, we can see the

yield of AC Barrie at Hamiota was a whopping 17 bu/acre. So a 101 per cent increase means that Waskada yielded 34 bu/acre, which is realistic. The problem is AC Barrie yielded abnormally low. Since the data is reported as a per cent of AC Barrie, if AC Barrie performs very poorly at a site, other varieties have the potential to look very good — even if they only yield closer to normal. So why did AC Barrie perform so poorly? Brent McCallum, a plant pathologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada said the 2007 survey showed that 16 per cent of wheat flag leaves in Manitoba were covered in leaf rust pustules, compared to 10 per cent in 2006. AC Barrie performed so poorly because it is an older wheat variety that only has a Fair rating for resistance leaf rust (see the Spring Wheat Variety Description in this publication). Since MCVET is testing newly developed varieties, these entries have improved leaf rust resistance genes bred into them. Referring to the Variety Description table, most of the entries have Good to Very Good rating for leaf rust. Why is MCVET still using AC Barrie as the check? Craig Riddell, a Warren-area seed grower and MCVET member, said the committee continued on next page

do with MCVET should represent what’s going on out in the field.” Brolley said that MCVET wheat plots aren’t usually sprayed with fungicide because it is difficult to time the application properly due to varietal differences in plant development. It’s important to treat all varieties equally — from plant population, to fertility, to weed control so that the yield differences at harvest time are due to genetics and not some outside factor. If aphid numbers build up on pea plants, the entire trial is sprayed to control the pest. Plant diseases,

discussed replacing AC Barrie with a different check variety last spring. Like many farmers, the MCVET committee wanted to move away from AC Barrie, but there was no obvious replacement. So they grudgingly decided to use AC Barrie another year. “In my area, I’d say the large producers, 80 per cent of them are hitting their wheat every year (with fungicides),” Riddell said. “What we

such as wheat rust, are more difficult due to differing plant growth rates. Current MCVET protocol is to apply fungicides as a split application, applying the first spray when the earliest variety is at the appropriate stage, with second split applied when the last third of plants are in the sensitive stage. Spraying at the wrong time could unduly compromise the performance of one variety over others. As well, a fungicide application masks the inherent disease tolerance of the newer varieties.

Brolley said this year was likely the last for AC Barrie as the wheat check. Although there was no obvious replacement for AC Barrie, this spring MCVET continued to test 5602HR and HARVEST as potential check varieties for next year. Both varieties have improved leaf rust resistance over AC Barrie. With an eye to the future, Brolley reran the 2007 wheat data using HARVEST as the check.

DECEMBER 2007

Table 1 shows the revised data set. Due to the higher yield of HARVEST, the 2007 Average Yield now ranges from 80 per cent to 128 per cent of Harvest compared to 100 per cent to 156 per cent of AC Barrie. Brolley said because of the severe rust outbreak, it’s unfortunate AC Barrie was the check variety in 2007. But the fact remains it is still the dominant variety in Manitoba,

accounting for 1.09 million acres in 2006 or almost 43 per cent of the province’s wheat plantings. Selection of a new check variety isn’t easy; it must have a large enough market share so that producers are familiar with how the variety performs in the field and it will continue to do so for the next number of years. In order to continue to have the wheat data relevant, it's time to move on to the next AC Barrie. SEED MANITOBA – 2008

Variety Description Key

A “CHECK CHARACTERISTICS” box has been placed at the bottom of each table, to display the long term yield, # of site years, % protein and any other check attributes.

Except for long term average yield and protein data, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials.

“Resistance to” ratings: VG=Very Good; G=Good; F=Fair; P=Poor; VP=Very Poor; n/a=not available

Site Years Tested is the cumulative number of locations over the years that a variety has been tested against the check. The more site years the more dependable the data.

Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeder’s Rights or a variety where protection has been applied for but not yet granted at time of printing.

Key to 2007 Yield and Protein Tables Yields derived over 2 or more growing seasons are the best indicator of variety performance. For new varieties, “2007 Average Yield” over all sites is more reliable than data from a single location. Use single site year data with caution. Data collected from Portage is not presented as a site, but data is included in 2007 Average Yield and the long term yield. CV % = Coefficient of Variation. A measure of random variation in a trial. A low CV is desirable. Sites with a CV lower than 15% are published. LSD % = Least Significant Difference. Varieties must differ by the LSD% to be considered significantly different from one another. Sign Diff = Significant Difference. Indicates if a real difference exists between varieties at an individual site. Protein data is presented as a +/- of check. A “CHECK % PROTEIN” box has been placed at the bottom of the 2007 Protein table to display actual % check proteins at each site. A “—” indicates data is not available.

Actual protein will depend on seasonal growing conditions and fertility levels. 3 Reactions given for old races of stem rust. All cultivars are susceptible to new race QCCJ, however to date this has not caused widespread damage. Early seeding will generally reduce the likelihood of severe infection. 4 Fusarium head blight (FHB) infection is highly inﬂuenced by environment and heading date. Under high levels of the disease all varieties will sustain damage. Hulless barley typically has reduced levels of DON when compared to regular barley with similar levels of disease.

Early seeding will generally reduce the likelihood of severe infection. 3 BYDV = Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus - a viral disease carried and spread by aphids. Early seeding will generally reduce the likelihood of severe infection.

HULLESS OATS C E R E

Varieties that are being tested or proposed for registration Variety Code Paul OT903 Comments: GEHLπ was granted an interim registration from CFIA for two years ending July 26, 2008. The yield of hulless oats is less than that of common oats in which the hull is part of the yield. Hulless oats should be stored at <12% moisture. Hulless oats are a specialty product for which a market should be ensured prior to planting.

Crown rust races capable of attacking varieties with the Pc68 gene are now prevalent in Manitoba, this has resulted in some varieties being redeﬁned as Poor (P) for Crown Rust resistance. Early seeding may reduce the likelihood of severe infection.

spring wheat (continued) Comments:

C E R

Goodeve VB and Unity VB are the ﬁrst wheat midge tolerant varieties. They both contain the same Sm1 gene for tolerance. To manage against the build-up of midge resistance to the gene, an interpersed refuge will be used commercially. This refuge will be achieved through planting a blend of 90% tolerant variety to 10% of a susceptible variety that will act as the refuge. For example Unity VB was tested as varietal blend that was composed of 90% Unity (tolerant variety) and 10% Waskada (refuge variety). These varieties are not immune to wheat midge and can suffer some midge damage when high midge infestation levels occur. Snowstarπ has been granted an interim regional registration from CFIA expiring May 15, 2008.

AC Vista has improved preharvest sprouting resistance, higher protein and improved gluten content over AC Karma.

For AC Taber, AC Foremost and AC Karma, sowing in late May or early June may greatly delay maturity and reduce yield compared with CWRS wheats.

AC Abbey has resistance to the wheat stem sawﬂy. Alikat is tolerant of acid soil conditions.

Kane has signiﬁcantly higher test weight and better preharvest sprouting resistance than McKenzie, Superb and AC Barrie.

TRITICALE C

Comments:

Triticale is used in Canada both as a food and livestock feed. Seed yield is generally higher than Glenlea wheat but protein content is slightly lower.

The newer available varieties, although susceptible, have reduced incidence of ergot compared to nonregistered varieties and rye

C R O P S

Triticale was last tested in 2000.

Forage yields of some varieties are listed in the Forage Crops section.

1 Fusarium head blight (FHB) infection is highly inﬂuenced by environment and heading date. Data on varietal reaction to FHB is limited and should be used with caution. Under high levels of the disease all varieties will sustain damage.

WINTER WHEAT Comments: McClintock has improved resistance to leaf spot diseases. Radiant is the ﬁrst variety with wheat curl mite resistance, which offers protection against the spread of wheat streak mosaic virus. Data is being collected for stripe rust reaction. Although it is premature to provide a rating for winter wheat varieties, McClintock and Radiant carry genes that may make them resistant to stripe rust. CDC Buteo, McClintock and Radiant are eligible varieties for the CWB’s 2008-09 Canada Western Red Winter Select wheat contracting program.

GLOBAL DEMAND FOR NEXERA* CANOLA IS GAINING MOMENTUM FAST.

Don’t get left behind.

OVER

50 NORTH AMERICAN

RESTAURANT CHAINS ARE NOW ON BOARD.

•

ARE YOU?

Demand, premiums, global opportunity – all signs in the marketplace point to signing a Nexera canola contract now. In fact, your only risk is in getting left behind. That’s because the intensely competitive food sector is demanding healthier, highly functional vegetable oils. And Nexera canola is setting a new global standard for heart-healthy vegetable oils with Omega-9 oil. It has become a primary source of supply for over 25,000 restaurants. But Canadian canola growers need to contract Nexera canola now to satisfy this opportunity. Here’s how we can win:

•

• Increased demand for Nexera canola provides greater assurance of more consistent delivery. • Two new varieties – Nex 840 CL and Nex 845 CL – offer healthy performance and even more growing opportunities. Added to the proven success of Nex 828 CL and Nex 830 CL, there’s now a Nexera canola variety to fit every farm in western Canada. • Nexera canola is profitable. It should be part of every grower’s canola plan. • When you grow Nexera canola, you get healthy returns by taking advantage of a premium over commodity canola. • Nexera canola produces Omega-9 oil – the next generation of healthier vegetable oils. Healthy performance. Healthy returns. A healthy future for everyone. ACCOMPLISH MORE. ON THE SAME ACRES. WITH DOW AGROSCIENCES. CALL THE SOLUTIONS CENTER AT 1.800.667.3852 OR VISIT DOWAGRO.CA.

SEED MANITOBA – 2008

Variety Description Key

A “CHECK CHARACTERISTICS” box has been placed at the bottom of each table, to display the long term yield, # of site years, % protein and any other check attributes.

Except for long term average yield and protein data, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials.

“Resistance to” ratings: HS=highly susceptible; S=susceptible; MS=moderately susceptible; MR=moderately resistant; R=resistant; n/a=not available Site Years Tested is the cumulative number of locations over the years that a variety has been tested against the check. The more site years the more dependable the data. Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeder’s Rights or a variety where protection has been applied for but not yet granted at time of printing.

Key to 2007 Yield Tables Yields derived over 2 or more growing seasons are the best indicator of variety performance. For new varieties, “2007 Average Yield” over all sites is more reliable than data from a single location. Use single site year data with caution. CV % = Coefficient of Variation. A measure of random variation in a trial. A low CV is desirable. Sites with a CV lower than 15% are published. LSD = Least Significant Difference. Varieties must differ by the LSD to be considered significantly different from one another. Sign Diff = Significant Difference. Indicates if a real difference exists between varieties at an individual site.

Comments:

In 2007 the PCVT moved to a 2 check system, using the average of 45H21 and 5020 which are both hybrids. All 2007 data is now relative to the average of this two mean check.

The 2006 and 2005 data presented in the table below refer to the old check, 46A65, so caution must be used when viewing the table to avoid confusion.

These varieties were tested by the Prairie Canola Variety Test (PCVT), coordinated by the Canola Council of Canada.

Natto Soybeans Comments: OAC Prudence is not a natto soybean; it is used to determine the yield potential of natto type soybeans compared to conventional soybeans. Soybean varieties have been organized into 3 maturity zones - short, mid and long season areas. Although there are no variety restrictions, the short season grouping is meant to be a starting point for new growers in the outer production areas. The long season group is targeted for the southern Manitoba generally south of highway 23, with the mid season grouping making up the bulk of the production area in between the short and long season area.

R O P S

Natto Soybean data is donated by the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association and the Agri-Food Research and Development Initiative (ARDI). Soybeans are not eligible for MASC Production Insurance in all parts of the province - consult your local agent for more details.

CONVENTIONAL SOYBEANS O I L S E E D

Comments: Conventional soybean varieties are evaluated separately from Roundup Ready type varieties, making direct comparison of varieties between the Roundup table and the Conventional tables impossible. Soybean varieties have been organized into 3 maturity zones - short, mid and long season areas. Although there are no variety restrictions, the short season grouping is meant to be a starting point for new growers in the outer production areas. The long season group is targeted for the southern Manitoba generally south of highway 23, with the mid season grouping making up the bulk of the production area in between the short and long season area. Soybeans are not eligible for MASC Production Insurance in all parts of the province - consult your local agent for more details. Oil and Protein data will be available on MAFRI and MPGA websites in early February

1 Company Heat Unit ratings are assigned by individual companies to assist growers select varieties suitable for their area. Growers should never rely on just 1 criteria for judging maturity. Experimental lines are not assigned a HU rating until they become registered. 2 Days to Maturity is the number of days from seeding to plant maturity (seeds rattling in 95% of the pods when plant is shaken.) 3 Hilum colour can range from Yellow (Y), ImperfectYellow (IY), Grey (G), Brown (BR), Buff (BF) or Black (BL) and is solely a marketing issue. The hilum is the point on the soybean seed where it attaches to the pod. 4 Seed size can range from 1800 to 4100 seeds/lb, varying greatly between varieties but even varying between seed lots of the same variety. Small seed ranges from 3200 to 4000 seeds/lb. 5 Iron Deﬁciency Chlorosis (IDC) scores were recorded, where 1=green leaves, 2=yellowish leaves, 3=green veins with yellow leaves, 4=brown dead tissue between green veins, 5=severe chlorosis and a stunted growing point. Ratings were taken from 2 sites in 2007. IDC tolerant varieties are varieties with lower IDC Scores and perform better on soils prone to iron deﬁciency chlorosis.

Variety Description Key

A “CHECK CHARACTERISTICS” box has been placed at the bottom of each table, to display the long term yield, # of site years, % protein and any other check attributes.

Except for long term average yield and protein data, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials.

“Resistance to” ratings: VG=Very Good; G=Good; F=Fair; P=Poor; VP=Very Poor; n/a=not available

I A

Site Years Tested is the cumulative number of locations over the years that a variety has been tested against the check. The more site years the more dependable the data.

Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeder’s Rights or a variety where protection has been applied for but not yet granted at time of printing.

TKW (Thousand Kernel Weight) is the weight in grams of 1000 seeds.

P Key to 2007 Yield Tables Yields derived over 2 or more growing seasons are the best indicator of variety performance. For new varieties, “2007 Average Yield” over all sites is more reliable than data from a single location. Use single site year data with caution. CV % = Coefficient of Variation. A measure of random variation in a trial. A low CV is desirable. Sites with a CV lower than 15% are published. LSD % = Least Significant Difference. Varieties must differ by the LSD% to be considered significantly different from one another. Sign Diff = Significant Difference. Indicates if a real difference exists between varieties at an individual site.

1 Each company assigns a corn heat unit (CHU) rating to each of their hybrids. The CHU rating is a measure of relative maturity and is one criteria for choosing a hybrid which will mature in your area. Moisture content at harvest, density, and days to 50% silk are other measurements to look at when evaluating the relative maturity of a hybrid. 2 Traits - hybrids designated as Bt have genetic resistance to European Corn Borer. Hybrids designated as RR have RoundUp herbicide tolerance and LL have Liberty herbicide tolerance, although these products were not applied in these trials. HX1 is a combination of Bt and LL. Conventional herbicides were used.

FABABEANS S

Comments:

There are two types of fababean exist - the traditional tannin types that have tan coloured seed coats and zero tannin types that have white coloured seed coats. Due to the absense of tannins (Anti Nutritional Factors) zero tannin fababean can be fed directly to livestock.

Fababean data is donated by the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association and the Agri-Food Research and Development Initiative (ARDI).

FIELD BEANS - Western Manitoba Adaptation Trials Comments:

(formerly called Narrow Row trials)

Long term yield data and days to maturity are from Manitoba Pulse Growers Association Trials grown in 10 to 12 inch row spacing.

Field Bean data is donated by the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association and the Agri-Food Research and Development Initiative (ARDI). Individual site and more detailed measurements from these trials are available in the Winter Edition of the Manitoba Pulse Beat distributed to Manitoba Pulse Growers Association (MPGA) members. Days to maturity is critical. Do not select a variety that will not mature in time, under normal growing conditions. Early fall frost severely affects yield and quality. Consult your local MASC agent for information on insurability of edible beans in your area.

SEED MANITOBA – 2008

Variety Description Key

Except for long term average yield and quality data, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials.

“Resistance to” ratings: HS=highly susceptible; S=susceptible; MS=moderately susceptible; MR=moderately resistant; R=resistant; n/a=not available π Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeder’s Rights or a variety where protection has been applied for but not yet granted at time of printing.

* Seed sources can be found at the back of the forage section

Key to 2007 Yield and Quality Tables Numbers in brackets indicate site years. Site Years Tested is the number of locations added up over the years that a variety has been tested in trials against the check. The more site years the more dependable the data. Use data with caution when there are fewer than 6 site years for annual crops and 9 site years for perennial crops. CV % = Coefficient of Variation. A measure of random variation in a trial. A low CV is desirable. Sites with a CV lower than 15% are published. LSD % = Least Significant Difference. Varieties must differ by the LSD% to be considered significantly different from one another.

Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Variety Guide FORAGE CULTIVAR EVALUATION The Manitoba Forage Council operates the Forage Cultivar Evaluation Program. Management of the program is through an industry team approach. Producers, seed trade, extension and researchers are involved in the forage evaluation management committee. The perennial forage cultivar evaluation is coordinated with similar programs in Saskatchewan and Alberta, allowing for sharing of test data. The annual forage testing is coordinated with other testing facilities and producer

organizations. The testing sites are Arborg, Melita, Rosebank (formerly Neepawa), Roblin and St. Pierre Jolys (formerly Steinbach). Cooperation and support from program partners have allowed the efficient operation of testing in 2007. The objective of the evaluation program is to provide information to Manitoba’s forage producers and industry partners on the performance of annual and perennial forage cultivars under Manitoba conditions. The program measures dry matter yields of perennials under a three-cut system

over three production years and annuals under a one-cut system over 3 years. The program has also developed test procedures to evaluate persistence, winter-hardiness and grazing tolerance. The Manitoba Forage Council publishes results from the forage evaluation trials with detailed information on forage production. These reports are available from Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI) offices, MAFRI Forage specialists, Rangeland and Pasture specialists, and the Manitoba Forage Council.

Alfalfa Winter Hardiness This Plant Hardiness Zones {2000} map outlines the different zones within Manitoba where various types of plants {alfalfa} will likely survive the winter. It is based on 30-year average climatic conditions of each area {min. and max. temperatures, frost-free period, summer and January rainfall, sow cover, wind speed, elevation}. Hardiness Zone ratings are to be used only as guideline when selecting varieties as many factors influence overwintering ability {such as snow cover, timing of cold weather, location of plants in the landscape, relative health of plants as they enter winter}. Always use optimum management techniques to ensure winter survival when choosing a variety with slightly poorer overwintering rating.

Corn Heat Unit Accumulation

O P

Corn heat units (CHU) are closely related to corn development. CHU is better than calendar days or growing degree days because CHU’s only accumulate when night temperatures are above 4.4ºC and day temperatures above 10ºC, and maximum growth occurs at 30ºC and decreases with higher temperatures. The map to the right indicates 30-year average accumulation of CHU in varying regions in the province.

Use the map to choose the right corn variety for your growing conditions. Note: Corn is typically harvested for silage 200 CHU before maturity. Therefore you may choose a variety with up to 200 CHU higher than your growing conditions provide.

SILAGE CORN F O R A G E

C R O P S

Comments: Corn hybrids for silage production are evaluated by the Manitoba Corn Committee. The trial locations for 2007 were Elm Creek and St.Pierre. The data presented is for one year only. Use with caution. All hybrids were evaluated at a plant population of 28,000 plants per acre. Plots are seeded at a higher rate and thinned to achieve the target population. Elm Creek was seeded May 8th, St.Pierre May 10th. The Manitoba Corn Committee publishes more detailed results (yield & quality) in their brochure, available at the Manitoba Corn Growers Association (745-6661) and local Manitoba Agriculture, Food & Rural Initiatives ofﬁces.

1 Each company assigns a corn heat unit (CHU) rating to each of their hybrids. The CHU rating is a measure of relative maturity and is one criteria for choosing a hybrid which is suitable for your growing region. See the Corn Heat Unit map at the beginning of the forage section. 2 Traits - hybrids designated as Bt have genetic resistance to European Corn Borer. Hybrids designated as RR have RoundUp herbicide tolerance and LL have Liberty herbicide tolerance, although these products were not applied in these trials. HX1 is a combination of Bt and LL. Conventional herbicides were used. 3 Moisture content at harvest. St. Pierre was harvested September 14, Elm Creek September 19. 4 Yields are corrected to 65% moisture content. 5 Total Digestable Nutrients (TDN), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) were measured on a composite sample for each hybrid. 6 Milk per Acre was calculated using Milk 2000, a model developed by the University of Wisconsin Extension Service. A combination of actual feed test values (CP, TDN, ADF) and book values (NDFd, NDF-CP, starch, ash and ether extract) was used. 7 Grand mean was only determined for yield and moisture content at harvest. 8 CV% = coefﬁcient of variation. A measure of random variation in a trial. A small % CV is desirable. A site having a CV greater than 15% is typically not accepted for publication. * This site experienced an excessive wind event shortly after conventional herbicide application that may have caused green snap which reduces plant population.

1 Virden is the check variety for barley, oats & triticale with an average yield of 9,314 lb/ac (10,457 kg/ha) over 34 site years. Forage pea check is 4010 with average yield of 9,192 lbs/ac (10,320) kg/ha on 22 site years. Pea data collected over 5 years (2003 - 2007) on six sites: Arborg, Roblin (MB), Sutherland, Floral (SK), Lacombe, Edmonton (AB). 2 Quality is highly dependent on plant maturity at harvest. For optimium quality: harvest barley at early-mid dough stage; oats & triticale at milk to early dough stage. 3 Resistance to leaf diseases can improve forage quality and yield: (VG) Very Good; (G) Good; (F) Fair; (P) Poor; (VP) Very Poor; n/a = not available. See cereal & special crop section in of this guide for more detail. 4 All varieties are suceptible to new races NA67 and NA76. These races caused moderate damage to crops in the Red Valley in 2001 & 2002.

1 These numbers represent the long term average yields as a percent of Beaver, on a per cut basis. 2 Brandon was discontinued in 1995 as a forage variety testing site 3 The Steinbach site was moved to St. Pierre in 1999. 4 Creeping rooted alfalfa types can be more tolerant to drought and grazing than tap rooted types, and may offer better winter hardiness. 5 Use: (H)Hay - developed for max. yield; may have lower persistence under grazing;(P) Pasture - varieties are low growing, higher grazing tolerance. First letter is prefered use. 6 Type: F-Flemish type, purple ﬂowered & early-growing. V-Variegated type, derived from ﬂemish & falcata type crosses. F,V-Mixed type, exhibits both characteristics. 7 FD: indicates the varieties characteristic to go dormant in fall. FD 9: will grow vigirously in fall; FD 2: will have little growth evident. Varieties with ratings of 1 - 4 are considered adequately winter hardy for Manitoba conditions while those of 5 or higher are not well adapted.

8 WH: ability of plants to survive winter and be productive next year. Ratings utilize North American approved Winter Hardiness Zone ratings. Varieties are compared against known check varieties (1=most hardy, 5=least hardy). Score of 1 indicates adaptation to all zones, score of 2 indicates adaptability in zones 2 to 5, score of 3 indicates adaptability in zones 3 to 5, etc. (See Winter Hardiness Zone map in the forage section). Scores are from the Manitoba Forage Council and 3rd party northern US tests using a minimum of 4 sites years of data over 2 winters. Grazing Tolerance: University of Manitoba study (1996 - 1999) determined winterhardiness was more influential than grazing tolerance to stand persistence under grazing. 9 Maturity rating indicates relative comparison of first flowering dates. Early varieties will bloom before late varieties, may provide more cuts/year, but are less hardy. 10 Disease Resistance:(HR) higly resistant; (R) resistance; (MR) moderatley resistance; (S) no resistance. Bacterial Wilt (BW), Verticillium Wilt (VW) Phytophythora Root Rot (PRR). 11 Multifoliate varieties have genetic potential to produce 4+ leaflets per leaf. This trait is influenced by environmental conditions.

W i t h a l l t h e decisions you have to make, this first one could be the most important. All right, what’s really holding you back? Maybe you still aren’t convinced of the benefits.

It has also been proven that treating your seeds commercially is a clean and safe option. And the benefits can be even greater than that. For example, when you use Apron Maxx RTA® on your pulses or Dividend XL RTA ® on your cereals, you will receive as much as a 4:1 yield-to-cost ratio. That’s right. For ever y quar ter you invest, you could get as much as a
