DC Soybean Experience – 2010 to Present
• Initiated Syngenta DC Soybean Project in 2010 with a small group of
dedicated growers planting DC Soys following Processing Peas, Winter
Barley & Winter Wheat
• Documented production practices and crop development, collected
yield and weather data and captured field images during each season
• Primary focus was G X E X M, interactions within the system which
impacted success rate and profitability• Variety (maturity and plant type)
• Establishment methods
• Seeding rates
• Planting dates
• Yield enhancement techniques
• Grower co-operators: Matheson Farms, Vibrent Farms, Wrights Feed
and Seed, Donnelly Farms, Fraser Farms and Langstaff Farms

Processing Peas & DC Soybean Production System
• Can the system work
consistently, year-year,
field - field?
• Can it increase
gross/net revenue per
acre?

Days from planting to flowering – 2012 Field Notes
S01-K8 (approximately 30 days)
S14-M4 (approximately 40 days)
Therefore total days required to reach physiological maturity is approx. 75 to 90+
days for double crop soys in Ontario. Day-length sensitivity does not completely
over-ride heat unit requirements in an ultra-short soybean production system

BMP for DC Soybean Production System
● Variety Selection – Maturity X Planting Date,
Taller Variety Down shift maturity approximately 0.75 - 2.0 maturity zones,
depending on planting date. Maturity compression does not
over-ride heat units required
● Plant into moisture, plant ASAP and
no-till if possibleYields decline +1.0 bu/day after July 1st
● Planting Rate & Row WidthIncrease pops with later planting dates, some
conditions may require up to 50% increase over
normal planting rates (Eg+250,000 seeds/acre).
Always “Solid Seed” where possible. Narrow rows
with high pops – Canopy Closure by 3rd to 4th
trifoliate (R1)
39
BMP for DC Soybean Production System
Factors Impacting Success Rate:
● Early Planting Date
- Before July 1st (>90%)
- July 1st to 10th (>80%)
- July 10 to 15th (>75%)
- Later than July 15th (<50%)
- Later than July 20th (green manure)
● Soil Health
- >4% Organic matter (+’ve)
- <3% Organic matter (-’ve)
● Plant RR Soys
- RR Herbicide Program
● Keep Crop Healthy
- Fungicide (Quilt, Trivapro)

Double Crop Soybean Production System Review of the Syngenta Story (SW Ontario)
REWARD VS “Managed” RISK
● DC Soybeans - Definitely possible North 40 0 Latitude
● DC Soybean Experience - “2010 – Present has been very positive”
● BMP for DC Soybean Production System – SW Ontario
- Have a plan:
- Identify best fit variety, secure seed early
- Adjust planting rate X planting date
- Focus on stand establishment
