With seeding operations now complete, herbicide applications are ramping up across the Northwest region.
According to the latest Manitoba Agriculture Crop Report, spring cereal and field pea applications are almost complete, while canola and soybean applications continue.
There are concerns, though, that some crops are starting to show signs of a lack of precipitation, especially in lighter soils and in some canola fields
Fall rye and winter wheat are mostly in the flowering stage, while spring wheat is mostly at the tillering stage, with later-seeded fields further behind.
Field peas are in the vegetative stage, while Soybeans are in the V1 to V2 stage, and Canola growth varies across the region.
