Soybeans Okay In Excess Moisture

 

Soybean crops are still standing in Manitoba, as the crops continue to mature.

 

While wet conditions have returned in areas of the province due to the recent rains, Manitoba Agriculture industry development specialist for pulses Dennis Lange doesn't anticipate any short term-quality losses in soybeans yet due to the excess moisture.

 

Lange says it's still a little early to tell what kind of effect the moisture could have.

 

"What can happen, is if you have a field of soybeans that is mature at that 95 per cent brown pod, and you go through a wetting and drying cycle for a number of days, so in other words you get very heavy dews in the morning, hot sunny days, and then heavy dews again or rainfall, what can happen in certain varieties is you might see pod twisting, and then when those pods twist, the seed shells out," Lange says.
