Bean Report

Jun 22, 2021

Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) is providing a crop update in this week's Bean Report.

Laura Schmidt is a production specialist for western Manitoba.

"Soybeans range from V1 to V4 and will be starting to flower with the change in day length," she said. "IDC symptoms have started to show up in some fields but most fields remain symptom free. Dry beans range from the unifoliate to the third tri-foliate stage. Southern areas of the province received high winds, damaging some bean crops resulting in leaf tearing and stem breakage, which thankfully now are regrowing...In these fields, expect some bacterial blight to infect those damaged plants and at low severity levels, this isn't typically a yield limiting disease."

She also touched on field peas and faba beans.

"Field peas range from eight to ten nodes, with some at R1 or flower bud stage, with a few open blooms here and there. Faba beans are also advancing with earlier seeded crops beginning to flower at around eight to nine leaf nodes."

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
