Swathing soybean can result in excessive field losses (up to 25%) due to shattering. Approximately four beans or one to two pods per square foot represent a yield loss of one bushel per acre. New names: Mani (CFS17.1.04); NSC Newton (NSC Belmont); Nocoma (CFS17.1.03). Varieties removed from the table: Dylano; DKB0008-39; DKB003-29; Lono; Marduk; NSC Star City; S001; TH37004; TH87003 and TH88005. Four trials: Bow Island, Brooks Lethbridge and Medicine Hat were grown under irrigation. And one dry land site in Stettler, Area 5. A - first year entries (2018). 1 Yields are reported relative to McLeod, yields that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) than the check are indicated. 2 Distance from the ground level to lowest pod tip. 3 Maturity is reported as +/- days relative to McLeod - averaged across the Brooks, Bow Island and Medicine Hat trials. 4 TSW: Thousand Seed Weight. special crops – performance trials and grower directory
