Predict Yields From Sol Test For Manitoba Cereal Crops
Soil scientists at the University of Manitoba advise Manitoba agronomists that fall yields can be predicted in spring from soil tests. Low soil nitrogen at 22 pounds per acre or more could yield 39 bushels of wheat or 63 to 70 bushels per acre, given favorable moisture and good practices. Under very low nitrogen, wheat 29 to 39 and barley 48 to 64 bushels per acre are possible.
