President’s Message
Minister’s Message Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives is pleased to continue our partnership with the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association and the Manitoba Co-operator in publishing Seed Manitoba 2009. As a producer, you will find the comprehensive information in this publication extremely useful in helping you select the most appropriate varieties for your farm and your markets, a challenge that is becoming increasingly complex. New features in this year’s guide that will help you meet this challenge include a revised canola section, a new general purpose wheat class for both spring and winter wheat, and new data for durum wheat. In addition to recognizing the work of the Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Team, I would also like to recognize the variety evaluation work conducted by the Canola Council of Canada, the National Sunflower Association of Canada, the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association, and the Manitoba Forage Council — all of whom continue to donate their data for this collaborative publication. Many staff members from Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives have also been involved, in a variety of roles. On behalf of all of those who have worked so diligently, it is my pleasure to present Seed Manitoba 2009. It is my hope that it will help you achieve a successful 2009 growing season.
Rosann Wowchuk Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives
The 2008 growing season is now completed, but the concern over commodity and input prices will likely follow growers well into 2009. As a rule throughout Manitoba, despite some extreme weather and harvest delays in areas, the harvest was good. Seed supplies are excellent, however be sure to book your orders early to avoid any disappointment. New valuable varieties seem to arrive on the market at an alarming rate, and sorting through the pros and cons of each variety to suit your operation can seem daunting. The information provided by this seed guide will help to calculate your risk and your local seed merchant has the background to help you make important variety decisions. While one variety may look good on paper, it may not be the best fit for your farm or specific environmental conditions. Seed Manitoba contains information provided by comprehensive 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 industry groups. On behalf of the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association, I wish to express our gratitude towards the industry partners who advertise in this publication. Your support for this effort is greatly appreciated. The board of the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association is proud to be a part of this publication, and it is our wish that as farmers are making important decisions for the 2009 growing season, the resources within this guide will be a critical source of information. The board of the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association wishes you good weather and a bountiful harvest in 2009.

New features for
Seed Manitoba 2009
Bruce Brolley, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives
As you peruse this year’s edition, here are some changes to keep in mind. Within the cereal section the crop types have been shifted around with the fall-seeded crops – winter wheat and fall rye moved to the end of the cereal section. Leggett is the new check variety for oats, replacing AC Assiniboia, and all of the long-term provincial oat data has been recalculated to reflect this change. Within the spring wheat tables two more midge-tolerant lines, Glencross VB and Fieldstar VB, have been registered and will be available as certified seed in 2011. The tables also include data from the first Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) wheat class in both the spring and winter types. In the oilseed section the 2008 Prairie Canola Variety Trials (PCVT) data co-ordinated by the Canola Council of Canada, has been reformatted. In previous years the Long Season Zone (most of Manitoba) and the Mid Season Zone (Hamiota, Dauphin, Durban and other sites for Western Canada) have had the data from Test 1 and Test 2 in separate tables. This year the data from both tests is in the same table in an effort to make the data easier to read. The bottom of each table includes updated information about the new strains of blackleg and how this SEEDMB.CA IS SPONSORED EXCLUSIVELY BY
pertains to the blackleg rating system. In flax, there is a new oil table showing the “% seed oil” across all locations for 2008. Finally in the soybean tables, Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) is now characterized with both a numerical rating (1-5) where the lower number represents greater tolerance and an IDC grouping that classifies varieties as either tolerant, semitolerant or susceptible. Both columns need to be used when interpreting a soybean variety’s IDC tolerance – remember going from tolerant to semi tolerant is a gradual progression, not a catastrophic change.
www.seedmb.ca This website contains Web Exclusive data, the digital edition of Seed Manitoba 2009 and Manitoba Variety Trials Locator. While we managed to get most of the data in this guide, the Web Exclusive section will contain data that did not meet our deadline. This year it will feature some late yield data from sunflowers and grain corn, as well as seed quality information for soybeans, edible beans and sunflowers. This information will be released in weekly intervals between mid-December and mid-January. The digital edition of Seed Manitoba 2009 has been revamped and is easier to use. The most obvious improvement is the breakout of each section (Cereal, Oilseed, Special Crop
and Forages) on the top header line to make it faster to get to a specific crop type. The Manitoba Variety Trials Locator has links to all the variety test locations, crops tested at each site, directions to site, plot plans and even seeding dates. The data for the 2008 growing season will stay online until mid-March. New information about the 2009 growing season will be posted in early July.
Standard features in Seed Manitoba 2009 Seed Manitoba remains the source for unbiased, local variety information from locations across Manitoba. The introduction page for each section contains information on common statistical and rating scales used in all the tables within the section. Information specific to a crop is included in the footnotes below the tables. Any questions related to the data found in Seed Manitoba 2009 can be directed to the commodity editors, Anastasia Kubinec, (canola, flax, mustard), Pam de Rocquigny (cereals, corn), Bruce Brolley (special crops, soybeans) and Glenn Friesen (forage). Thanks to the commodity associations who donated data to Seed Manitoba 2009 and to Patti Cuthbert, the MCVET co-ordinator. We hope you find the information in Seed Manitoba 2009 useful as you make your crop and variety decisions in the coming months.

Eastern Manitoba experience
with CDC Go
a cautionary tale
by Allan Dawson, Manitoba Co-operator staff
CDC Go CDC Go, like lots of other Canada Western Red Spring wheats, was hit hard by fusarium head blight this year, especially in Manitoba’s sodden Interlake and drier but still wet Red River Valley. It was a disappointing and costly surprise to many farmers attracted by CDC Go’s potentially high yield, short straw and the “fair” rating for fusarium tolerance in the 2008 edition of Seed Manitoba. The rating in this year’s book was dropped to “poor” — a reflection of just how vulnerable the variety is to the ravages of fusarium. That maybe of little consolation, but underscores the value of caution when growing new varieties. The variety registration system, which requires up to three years of testing and MCVET (Manitoba Crop Evaluation Trials) provide valuable data, which is assembled and published in Seed Manitoba, but it’s not infallible. “Based on our disease checks it (CDC GO) looked like it was fair to moderately resistant (to fusarium head blight),” said Jeannie Gilbert, a plant pathologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg. “It was there for three years (of testing) and each year it was fairly consistent in terms of being the best of that bunch. “None of the tests prior to this year indicated that it was going to be so susceptible.” New wheats are grown in fusarium “nurseries” designed to put disease pressure on the varieties so their performance can be assessed. Despite researchers’ best efforts, it’s presumed the disease pressure CDC Go was exposed to was low compared to this year.
It’s more likely to be a combination of weather conditions which caused such high rates of fusarium infections, Gilbert said. There’s another factor. The genes that confer fusarium tolerance are not as well accounted for as for leaf or stem rust. With rust scientists have identified the genes that provide resistance to specific races of rust.
“It was a pretty bad year (for fusarium) outside of the southwest corner (of Manitoba).” Randy Clear
26 per cent sample It was a bad year for fusarium in Manitoba, said Randy Clear, a mycologist with the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). The highest levels of infection were in the Interlake where it rained so much that crops and hay were flooded most of the growing season. One of the worst samples the CGC received came in at 26 per cent (by weight) Fusarium Damaged Kernels (FDK), Clear said. The variety, 5601, is also rated as “fair” for fusarium tolerance. Based on the Manitoba samples the CGC received from farmers this year, fusarium was the major degrading factor in 50 per cent of
the red spring wheat received and 40 per cent in the red winter wheat. No. 1 Canada Western Red Winter wheat can have up to one per cent fusarium damage and still grade No. 1. In other words, it takes a fair bit of damage for fusarium to be a degrading factor, Clear noted. “It was a pretty bad year (for fusarium) outside of the southwest corner (of Manitoba),” where crops suffered because of drought, he said. “Traditionally the northwest has the lowest levels and they weren’t very low this year, which is unusual for that area. But it was such good weather for the disease.” It’s commonly believed it takes warm, humid conditions for fusarium to infect wheat, but when the weather is cooler, more rain can offset the temperature, Clear said. Fusarium grows faster when it’s warmer than it was this year, but obviously it still does well when it’s a bit cooler and wetter than usual. “It has been a very strange year because when we did our surveys (in mid-August) there was little to none (of the disease present),” Gilbert said. “We had very, very low levels of visual symptoms, but we also had a rather prolonged (at times, wet) harvest and we’ve seen a lot of damage subsequent to the time we were doing surveys.” According to the Canadian Wheat Board’s variety survey, CDC Go, which was registered in 2004 and released to seed growers to multiply in 2006, accounted for about four per cent of the spring wheat seeded in Manitoba last spring, versus just less than one per cent in 2007.

DECEMBER 2008
SEED MANITOBA – 2009
High yield Patti Cuthbert, the agri-genetic specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI), says farmers, including in the Red River Valley — the hotbed of fusarium head blight — were attracted to CDC Go because of its yield. It’s prudent not to rely too much on one year’s data. That said in 2007 CDC Go’s yield in MCVET trials averaged 19 per cent better than the check AC Barrie; at Stonewall it yielded 58 per cent above the check and at Rosebank an astounding 118 per cent higher than the check. No wonder farmers wanted the variety. It’s a good variety, just not for areas at high risk for fusarium, says Cuthbert. Canadian Wheat Board agronomist Mike Grenier agrees. “I think it’s a really good variety for western part of the Prairies but not the fusarium area,” he said. Plant diseases require three components to cause damage: the presence of the disease, susceptible host plants and the right environmental conditions for the disease to infect and then affect the plant. The CGC’s Clear says all of agroManitoba has fusarium head blight inoculum ready to infect wheat if the environmental conditions are right. Rotating out of susceptible crops such as wheat, barley and cereals is better than not rotating, but since fusarium grows on other SEED MANITOBA – 2009
“It has been a very strange year because when we did our surveys (in mid-August) there was little to none (of the disease present). We had very, very low levels of visual symptoms, but we also had a rather prolonged (at times, wet) harvest and we’ve seen a lot of damage subsequent to the time we were doing survey.” Jeannie Gilbert
crop stubble, there is potential for infection every growing season, right across Manitoba. Cuthbert says one way to try to reduce risk is through early seeding and planting wheats with varying maturity. The Morden area, where Cuthbert lives, didn’t experience very high levels of fusarium infections in all cases, but farmers who grew CDC Go or a later-maturing wheat like Superb “were right in the window where they were susceptible.” The late rains made matters worse. Late infection also meant most seeds were less shrivelled then they would have been normally and weren’t blown out of the combine at harvest time resulting in higher levels of damaged kernels. “And if they used fungicide at all, in some cases the fungicide may cause the kernel to stay plump but it still has the fusarium on it as well as the DON (toxin produced by fusarium),” Cuthbert said.
Typically, most fusarium inoculum shows up in the second or third week of July. If the crop is flowering then, that’s the ideal time for fusarium head blight infection to occur. “I know some growers who grew a variety like AC Intrepid, which is... four days earlier (maturing) than Barrie,” Cuthbert said. “And if it was planted in April they lucked out this year and missed the fusarium window because it was finished flowering.” Another strategy is to increase the seeding rate. That should mean fewer tillers and more even flowering so if the fungicide Folicur is sprayed to try to protect the crop from fusarium, it will be more effective. But Folicur isn’t a silver bullet. It “suppresses” the disease but under high disease pressure will succumb, just as varieties rated as having “fair” or even “good” tolerance will. DECEMBER 2008

1 Values in brackets indicate row and type: 2 = two-row; 6 = six-row; B = blue aleurone; W = white aleurone (all others yellow); F = fodder. 2 Protein data is from MCVET plots harvested from 2002 to 2008. 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 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.

Please talk to local malting company selector in regards to demand for Robust. Domestic as used in this publication, means barley selected for domestic processing into malt to supply domestic brewers as well as for malt destined for export. Export is that malting barley designated for markets outside of Canada including the U.S., shipped as unmalted grain. The CMBTC recommends the use of CERTIFIED seed to ensure varietal purity and to increase opportunity for selection. The following companies have PEDIGREED seed distribution rights for those varieties that are footnoted: 1-Viterra; 2- BARI-Canada; 3 FP Genetics; 4 - SeCan;

Comments: Forage yields of some varieties are listed in the Forage Crops section. All oat varieties recommended for Manitoba are acceptable for milling. The race horse industry prefers white-hulled varieties. HiFiπ is exceptionally high in beta-glucan fibre and is available for contract identity preserved production. Crown rust races capable of attacking varieties with the Pc68 gene are now prevalent in Manitoba, this has resulted in varieties like AC Assiniboiaπ, Furlongπ, Pinnacleπ and others being redefined as Very Poor (VP) for Crown Rust resistance. Early seeding may reduce the likelihood of severe infection.

1 Protein data is from MCVET plots harvested from 2002 to 2008. Actual protein will depend on seasonal growing conditions and fertility levels. 2 All varieties are susceptible to new races NA67 and NA76 and these races caused moderate damage to crops in the Red River Valley in 2001 and 2002. Early seeding will generally reduce the likelihood of severe infection. 3 BYD = Barley Yellow Dwarf - a viral disease carried and spread by aphids - early seeding will generally reduce the likelihood of severe infection.

Farmer funded and directed, WGRF’s vision is to provide affordable, leading edge technology for the benefit of western Canadian producers. The Value of Public Research WGRF supports western Canadian public research programs and projects through long and short-term agreements. Each dollar invested in research is leveraged by additional government funds that can match or double the investment made by producers. WGRF sets standards for the selection of seed distributors who carry each new variety Plant breeding is critical to the core of a vibrant and profitable agriculture industry. With a recent focus on commercializing value-added products, it is important to remember that without seed that performs well and works for farmers, there is nothing to add value to. For updates on the topic of public plant breeding, go to our website, www.westerngrains.com, and look under the Current Info section.

GEHLπ is the first bald hulless oat variety as it does not have surface-borne hairs (trichomes). GEHLπ also has improved hulless expression.
E
Hulless oats are a specialty product for which a market should be ensured prior to planting.
A L
C R O P S
Comments: 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. 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 Very Poor (VP) for Crown Rust resistance. Early seeding may reduce the likelihood of severe infection.

Comments: Goodeve VBπ, Unity VBπ, Fieldstar VBπ and Glencross 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 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. 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.

McClintockπ has improved resistance to leaf spot diseases. Radiantπ 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, McClintockπ and Radiantπ carry genes that confer resistantance to many of the prevalent races. CDC Buteo, McClintockπ and Radiantπ are eligible varieties for the CWB’s 2009-10 Canada Western Red Winter Select wheat contracting program.

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. The newer available varieties, although susceptible, have reduced incidence of ergot compared to nonregistered varieties and rye. Forage yields of some varieties are listed in the Forage Crops section.

Variety Description Key
O
A CHECK CHARACTERISTICS box has been placed at the bottom of each table, to display the long term yield, # of site years, %oil content, maturity and any other check attributes.
I
Except for long term average yield, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials.
S
Resistance to ratings: HS = highly susceptible; S = susceptible; MS = moderately susceptible; MR = moderately resistant; R = resistant; n/a = not available. New! 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. 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.

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 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. 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 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 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.
General Notes: 1 Different types of soybeans are evaluated separately, meaning direct comparison of varieties between different tables is not possible. All trials are 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. 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 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 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 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.

1 On a whole seed content, Seed Protein in normal soybeans can range from 36% to 42%. Lower protein is usually an indication of poor nodulation during the growing season. Normal type soybeans (most conventional and Roundup Ready soybeans currently grown in Manitoba) have a whole seed protein around 40%, mid level types around 42.5% and high protein types around 45%.

Nothing outperforms. 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. Visit InVigorResults.ca to see for yourself how InVigor out yields the competition year after year.

Variety Description Key
S
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.
P
Except for the long term average yield and protein data, variety description information was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials.
C
Resistance to ratings: VG = Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor; n/a = not available
E
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.
L
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.
C
TKW (Thousand Kernel Weight) is the weight in grams of 1000 seeds.
O
R
P Key to 2008 Yield and Protein 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 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.

GRAIN CORN S
Comments: 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.
E
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 population. Carman was seeded May 6th, MacGregor May 14th, St.Pierre May 9th.
C
Carman was harvested October 26th, MacGregor October 15th & St.Pierre October 18th. Yields are corrected to 15.5% moisture content.
I
The Manitoba Corn Committee publishes the annual results with all locations along with long term data in their brochure, which is available at the Manitoba Corn Grower’s Association office (204-745-6661) and at local Manitoba Agriculture, Food & Rural Initiatives GO 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 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: BT, HX1, CB, YGCB - resistance to European corn borer; RR, RR2 - Roundup herbicide tolerant; GT - glyphosate herbicide tolerant; LL - Liberty herbicide tolerant; RW - resistance to rootworm. 3 Moisture content at harvest. 4 Lower bushel weights may be attributed to a late season and early harvest dates.

1 Long term Average Yield is the best indicator of variety performance. 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.

Breaking new ground. One seed at a time. Pioneer Hi-Bred is breaking new ground in every field 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 first ever canola hybrid with improved field tolerance to sclerotinia. And our hybrids with the Roundup Ready® and Clearfield® 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 fields.

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 2008. 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, snow 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 a slightly poorer overwintering rating.

CORN HEAT UNIT ACCUMULATION 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 4.4C and day temperatures above 10C, and maximum growth occurs at 30C and decreases with higher temperatures. The map above indicates 30-year average accumulation of CHU in varying regions in the province.

SILAGE CORN F O R A
Comments: 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. 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. 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 Manitoba Corn Growers Association office (204-745-6661) and at 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. 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.

1 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. 2 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 of crop tolerances. 3 All varieties are suceptible to new races NA67 and NA76. These races caused moderate damage to crops in the Red Valley in 2001 & 2002.

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.
