"The real issue is, will you have something worth combining? In regions north of London, Ont., many attempts have ended with immature beans that never reached harvest."
"We're growing the very shortest day varieties we can get... and we've had more luck with that."
"The difference between the 10th or 11th of July and the 20th is literally 40 bushels or zero bushels."
"Rather than shortening maturity by a single maturity group, growers in shorter-season regions may need to move much earlier—potentially to triple-zero varieties—to give the crop a chance to finish."
Double cropping soybeans in Ontario has been risky, particularly in northern regions. Recent research shows that 'super short-season' soybean varieties can enhance success rates. Trials at the Elora Research Station revealed that ultra-early varieties, like triple-zero maturity, yielded over 40 bushels per acre when seeded in mid-July. Advances in breeding have improved yield potential for these early maturities. Timing is crucial, as a few days can significantly impact yields. Growers may need to adopt much earlier varieties to ensure crops can mature properly.
