SEED MANITOBA – 2009 DECEMBER 2008 5 It’s my chance to start right! I’ve done my homework – read local trial results, talked to my retailer and even my neighbours. For my farm, it’s about high yielding canola hybrids with great technology. And that is why all of us should choose DEKALB®.

High yielding canola hybrids with leading technology

Monsanto is committed to bringing higher yielding DEKALB® brand canola, corn and soybeans to western Canadian growers – products like 71-45 RR in 2007, and now 72-55 RR for 2009.

With our $20 million dollar investment in canola and our global access to Monsanto’s corn and soybean pipeline, we feel more conﬁdent than ever that growers can take pride in choosing DEKALB brand seed for their farms.

SECTIONAL CONTROL TECHNOLOGY ™

Seed Hawk’s Sectional Control Technology (SCT) is an innovative and more productive way to seed and fertilize your crops. It works in conjunction with GPS and auto-steer to lift openers when seeded ground is encountered, and shut down metering of seed and fertilizer. Depending on the variability of your land, input costs can be reduced by as much as 10% and, ultimately, will get you a more uniform harvest. Sectional Control Technology makes large machines as versatile as small machines. It’s easy to use and can be paired with all types of fertilizer.

Actual protein will depend on seasonal growing conditions and fertility levels. 3 In recent years, netted net blotch (NNB) has predominated over spotted net blotch in Manitoba; thus varieties will likely perform as per the NNB reactions. 4 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 S will generally reduce the likelihood of severe infection. 5 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 similiar levels of disease.

2009-2010 Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre Recommendations These recommendations are based on the varieties expected to be selected by grain and malting companies for both domestic and export markets from the 2009 harvest. Seeding decisions should be based on agronomic considerations and feedback from your grain company representative, local elevator operators and malting companies. This list is published on behalf of the members of the CMBTC, and other companies that have provided their input. Varieties not listed are not recommended. The varieties are listed in descending order to the amount selected in 2008.

SEED MANITOBA – 2009 DECEMBER 2008 19 HULLESS OATS

C Varieties that are being tested or proposed for registration Variety Code Breeder OT903 NDSU E Comments: R GEHLπ is the first bald hulless oat variety as it does not have surface-borne hairs (trichomes). GEHLπ also has improved hulless expression. 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. E 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 A as Very Poor (VP) for Crown Rust resistance.

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 a 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. C Snowstarπ has been granted an interim regional registration from CFIA expiring May 15, 2009. KANEπ has significantly higher test weight and better preharvest sprouting resistance than McKenzie, Superbπ and AC Barrieπ.

TRITICALE Comments: Triticale was last tested in 2000. 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.

L Except for long term average yield, variety descrip- S tion information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials. E Resistance to ratings: HS = highly susceptible; S = susceptible; MS = moderately susceptible; MR = mod- E erately resistant; R = resistant; n/a = not available. New! Blackleg rating for canola. The rating represents a D varietys blackleg tolerance relative to the highly susceptible variety Westar. Varieties with a resistant (R) or moderately resistant (MR) rating for blackleg have shown the greatest ability to suppress blackleg incidence and sever- C ity, but can still develop some lesions or cankers. Newer pathogroups of blackleg (PG3, PG4 and PGT) have been confirmed and not all varieties will have resistance. As a R result, individual field performance may vary from performance in the registration trials. In fields where newer O blackleg pathogroups have been confirmed, where fall field scouting revealed higher than expected levels of blackleg or where there has been history of a tight P rotation with canola, it may be necessary to lengthen rotation to achieve sufficient blackleg control. S Site Years Tested is the cumulative number of locations over the years that a variety has been tested against the check variety. The more site years, the more dependable the data. π Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeders Rights or a variety where protection has been applied for but not yet granted at time of printing.

Key to 2008 Yield Tables

Yields derived over 2 or more growing seasons are the best indicator of variety performance. For new varieties, 2008 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 trials. A low CV is desirable. 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.

Blackleg rating for canola. The rating represents a varietys blackleg tolerance relative to the highly susceptible variety Westar. Varieties with a resistant (R) or moderately resistant (MR) rating for blackleg have shown the greatest ability to suppress blackleg incidence and severity, but can still develop some lesions or cankers. Newer pathogroups of blackleg (PG3, PG4 and PGT) have been confirmed and not all varieties will have resistance. As a result, individual field performance may vary from performance in the registration trials. In fields where newer blackleg pathogroups have been confirmed, where fall field scouting revealed higher than expected levels of blackleg or where there has been history of a tight rotation with canola, it may be necessary to lengthen rotation to achieve sufficient blackleg control.

“we know beans” www.northstargeneticsmanitoba.com SOYBEANS Notes for all soybean tables O Maturity Notes: always use more than 1 criteria to guage maturity 1 Soybean varieties have been organized into 3 maturity zones - short, mid and long season areas. Although there are no variety restrictions, the I 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 L and long season area. 2 Company Heat Unit ratings are assigned to assist growers select varieties suitable for their area. Unfortunately Company Heat Unit ratings do not always reflect the actual maturity in Manitoba. Growers should never rely on just 1 criteria for judging maturity. Experimental lines are not assigned S a HU rating until they become registered. 3 Relative days to maturity (dtm) is the number of days from seeding to plant maturity (95% of the pods on the plant are mature with seeds rattling E in the pods when plant is shaken.) and is expressed as + or - days from the check. Actual days to maturity for the check is found in the grey Check Box at the bottom of the table. E General Notes: 1 Different types of soybeans are evaluated separately, meaning direct comparison of varieties between different tables is not possible. All trials are D solid seeded at 210,000 plants/acre. 2 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. 3 Relative Seeds/lb, are the seed numbers of the varieties entered into the trial. Soybean seed size can vary greatly between varieties and even from seed lot to seed lot of the same variety. Growers should use the seed size for their seed lot when calculating seeding rates. C 4 Lodging is rated at harvest; 1=standing upright, 5= flat along the ground. A rating of 3 or more can promote white mold within the crop canopy. 5 Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) rating scores 1=green leaves, 2=yellowish leaves, 3=green veins with yellow leaves, 4=brown dead tissue between R green veins, 5=severe chlorosis and a stunted growing point. Ratings were taken from 4 sites prone to iron chlorosis over the last 2 years. IDC tolerant varieties are varieties with lower IDC Scores and perform better on soils prone to iron deficiency chlorosis. 6 Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) grouping is used because varieties will have different visual rating scores from year to year. Numerical ratings which O are close but that are in different groupings will show similiar symptoms. Both numerical numbers and groupings should be considered together when judging IDC. Tolerant=leaves stayed green, Semi Tolerant=leaves when yellow then turned green, Susceptible= leaves went chlorotic and P had dead patches on their leaves and where often stunted before turning green and regrowing. 7 Soybeans are not eligible for MASC Production Insurance in all parts of the province - consult your local agent for more details.

It’s amazing. I’ve always known that it’s the highest-yielding canola out there. And you don’t have to tell me about its vigorous early growth, superior genetics or great performance under stressed conditions. I’ve witnessed it year after year and I still get excited. My InVigor. It never fails to put on a good show.

PR11360CAP_MC_AE.indd 1 10/31/08 9:09:08 AM Variety Description Key S A CHECK CHARACTERISTICS box has been placed P at the bottom of each table to display the long term yield, # of site years, % protein and any other check attributes. E Except for the long term average yield and protein C data, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials. I Resistance to ratings: VG = Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor; n/a = not available A Site Years Tested is the cumulative number of locations over the years that a variety has been tested L against the check. The more site years the more dependable the data. π Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeders Rights or a variety where protection has C been applied for but not yet granted at time of printing. R TKW (Thousand Kernel Weight) is the weight in grams O of 1000 seeds. P Key to 2008 Yield and Protein Tables S Yields derived over 2 or more growing seasons are the best indicator of variety performance. For new varieties, 2008 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. 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.

SEED MANITOBA – 2009 DECEMBER 2008 67 GRAIN CORN Comments: S The grain corn variety trial was tested and the data donated by the Manitoba Corn Committee. P The trial locations for 2008 were Carman, Reinland, St. Pierre, MacGregor & Minto. Due to the late year, only Carman, MacGregor & St.Pierre locations are presented. All hybrids are evaluated at a plant population of 26,000 plants per acre. Plots are seeded at a higher rate and thinned to achieve the target popula- E tion. Carman was seeded May 6th, MacGregor May 14th, St.Pierre May 9th. Carman was harvested October 26th, MacGregor October 15th & St.Pierre October 18th. Yields are corrected to 15.5% moisture content. C The data presented is for one year only. Use with caution. The Manitoba Corn Committee publishes the annual results with all locations along with long term data in their brochure, which is available at the I Manitoba Corn Grower’s Association office (204-745-6661) and at local Manitoba Agriculture, Food & Rural Initiatives GO offices.

Use single site-year data with caution. 2 Due to different weather conditions each year, the actual number of days it takes a variety to fully mature varies from year to year. Choosing a variety that needs a longer growing season than your farm has, increases your risk of frost damage and lower returns.

SEED MANITOBA – 2009 DECEMBER 2008 81 Breaking new ground. One seed at a time.

Pioneer Hi-Bred is breaking new ground in every ﬁ eld of the seed business. Our customers have challenged us to dig deep for results that will meet the next decade’s toughest market and cropping challenges. And our researchers are delivering.

We’re already delivering game-changing performance in canola through hybrids with higher oil content and dramatically improved disease resistance – including the fi rst ever canola hybrid with improved fi eld tolerance to sclerotinia. And our hybrids with the Roundup Ready® and Clearfi eld® traits have consistently been the yield leaders in their herbicide segments.

Pioneer® brand corn hybrids continue to deliver consistent performance and early maturity for silage, grazing and grain markets across Western Canada.

And our expanding presence in Western Canada is evidenced by Pioneer Hi-Bred’s new state-of-the-art canola seed plant in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Pioneer Hi-Bred. We’re breaking new ground where it matters most: In your ﬁ elds.

This Plant Hardiness Zones (2000) map outlines the different zones within Manitoba where various types of plants {alfalfa} F Zone 1 will likely survive the winter. It is based on 30-year average

THE PAS climatic conditions of each area (min. and max. temperatures, frost-free period, summer and January rainfall, snow cover, O wind speed, elevation). Hardiness Zone ratings are to be used only as guideline when selecting varieties as many factors R influence overwintering ability (such as snow cover, timing of cold weather, location of plants in the landscape, relative health SWAN RIVER of plants as they enter winter). Always use optimum manage- A ment techniques to ensure winter survival when choosing a Zone 2 variety with a slightly poorer overwintering rating. G ROBLIN DAUPHIN FISHER BRANCH

SEC_CERT07_E SILAGE CORN Comments: F The silage corn variety trial was tested and the data donated by the Manitoba Corn Committee. The trial locations for 2008 were Elm Creek and St.Pierre. The data presented is for one year only. Use with caution. O 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 10th, St.Pierre May 9th. R Elm Creek was harvested September 24th, St.Pierre September 30th. Yields are corrected to 65% moisture content. The Manitoba Corn Committee publishes the annual results along with more detailed lab analysis in their brochure. The brochure is available at the A Manitoba Corn Growers Association office (204-745-6661) and at local Manitoba Agriculture, Food & Rural Initiatives offices.

The CHU rating is a measure of relative maturity and is one criteria for choosing a hybrid which is suitable for your growing region. S 2 Traits: BT, HX1, CB, YGCB - resistance to European corn borer; RR, RR2 - Roundup herbicide tolerant; GT - glyphosate herbicide tolerant; LL - Liberty herbide tolerant; RW - resistance to rootworm. 3 Moisture content at harvest. 4 TDN, ADF & NDF were measured on a composite sample for each hybrid. 5 Milk per Acre was calculated using Milk 2006, a model developed by the University of Wisconsin Extension Service. A combination of actual feed test values (DM, CP, NDF, starch) and book values (NDFd, ash, fat) was used.

First letter is prefered use. 3 Type: F-Flemish type, purple flowered & early-growing. V-Variegated type, derived from flemish & falcata type crosses. F,V-Mixed type, exhibits both characteristics. 4 FD: indicates the varieties characteristic to go dormant in fall. FD 9: will grow vigirously in fall;l FD 2: will have little fall 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 Disease Resistance:(HR) higly resistant; (R) resistant; (MR) moderatley resistant; (S) not resistant. Bacterial Wilt (BW), Verticillium Wilt (VW) Phytophythora Root Rot (PRR). 8 Multifoliate varieties have genetic potential to produce 4+ leaflets per leaf. This trait is influenced by environmental conditions 9 These numbers represent the long term average yields as a percent of Beaver, on a per cut basis.

SEED MANITOBA – 2009 DECEMBER 2008 115 You can’t afford not to have Raxil® ﬁghting for you. It’s the most effective opponent of smut in wheat, barley and oats. It delivers a one-two-punch to both seed and soil-borne fusarium. Best of all, it packs more economic punch per pound than any other kind of input. For about $3/ac you can expect returns over $20/ac*. How’s that for a knockout?

*Calculations of NET RAXIL BENEFIT is based on CWB PROs as of October 23, 2008, an average yield increase using Raxil Seed Treatment (calculated from 1999 - 2003 Bayer CropScience, Gustafson + Independent trials, 33 replications in both wheat and barley trials taken to yield), and an average input price of $3.00 per acre of Raxil Seed Treatment. www.bayercropscience.ca or 1 888-283-6847 or contact your Bayer CropScience representative.

Very Simple. Very Smart.

The Morris Contour Drill has been carefully engineered to be a simple, highly effective seeding tool that will improve your crop establishment and farm profitability. This remarkable drill represents the next evolution in seed and fertilizer placement accuracy. How do we do it? Our contour opener has a paral- lel linkage design that allows each opener on our drill to move in response to changing field conditions, resulting in exceptional seeding depth accuracy. The Contour opener’s single shank design provides excellent trash clearance and reduced draft requirements saving horsepower and fuel. Our double-shoot paired row opener provides farmers the all the benefits of narrower row spacing without sacrificing the superior trash clearance, reduced draft requirements and costs savings associated with wider row spacing. This opener places two paired rows four inches apart and the fertilizer band is placed between and below the paired seed rows. Finally, the Morris hydraulic accumulator system greatly reduces the demand on the tractor hydraulics compared to the continuous hydraulic oil flow required by similar drills. It all adds up to being a well thought out, well designed seeding tool that not only can save you money but make you money as well. Now that is Smart! To find out more contact your local Morris Dealer or visit www.morris-industries.com

Simple makes sense.
