Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) is giving a crop update in this week's Bean Report.
Cassandra Tkachuk is a production specialist with the organization.
"Soybeans are mainly at the R6 or the full seed stage right now. The most advanced soybean crops are approaching R7, which is the start of maturity, where we see yellowing of the lower leaves. We see leaf drop and some pod colour change," she said. "Dry bean crops range from R8 to R8.5, which is early to mid-maturity. Also at these stages for dry bean crops, we see lower leaves turning yellow, leaves dropping and the seeds within the pods are starting to show their true bean colours."
She says most pea crops in the province have been harvested.
Faba beans are at the R6 or the beginning maturity stage in fields that received better moisture throughout the season and faba beans in the drier regions are already at the R7 to R8, or mid to full maturity stages.
