Flowering Soybeans Mean Nodulation Assessment

Soybeans in Manitoba are around the fourth to fifth trifoliate stage, with some crops beginning to flower this week.
 
Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers production specialist Kristen Podolsky says this is a reminder that producers should be getting their last herbicide applications in. It's also the time for grower to be making nodulation assessments.
 
"What you should be looking for is at least 10 nodules per plant," she says, "that's what research has found to be the number to optimize yield. Then, if you break open some of those nodules, they should be pinkish-red inside."

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
