REMINDER: Replanting Decisions in Corn and Soybeans… What to Consider

Jun 14, 2022

By Osler Ortez and Laura Lindsey et.al

Unfavorable weather during the months of April, May, and early June has negatively affected corn and soybean acres establishment in the state. If considering replanting fields, a C.O.R.N. Newsletter article released in mid-May has several steps and considerations that can help the decision.

If soil crusting/emergence is a concern, it may be more beneficial to consider using a rotary hoe to improve emergence than re-planting. For agronomic crops, we are approaching the period where gains in stands won’t offset yield losses caused by a shortened growing season. Other considerations are to consult with your crop insurance agent and seed company reps on any replanting policies or assessments required prior to implementing this practice.

Video: New research chair appointed to accelerate crop variety development

Funded by Sask Wheat, the Wheat Pre-Breeding Chair position was established to enhance cereal research breeding and training activities in the USask Crop Development Centre (CDC) by accelerating variety development through applied genomics and pre-breeding strategies.

“As the research chair, Dr. Valentyna Klymiuk will design and deploy leading-edge strategies and technologies to assess genetic diversity for delivery into new crop varieties that will benefit Saskatchewan producers and the agricultural industry,” said Dr. Angela Bedard-Haughn (PhD), dean of the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at USask. “We are grateful to Sask Wheat for investing in USask research as we work to develop the innovative products that strengthen global food security.”

With a primary focus on wheat, Klymiuk’s research will connect discovery research, gene bank exploration, genomics, and breeding to translate gene discovery into improved varieties for Saskatchewan’s growing conditions.
