Swathing soybean can result in excessive field losses (up to 25%) due to shattering. Approximately four beans or one to two pods per square foot represent a yield loss of one bushel per acre. Varieties removed from the table: 23-11, 23-60, Notus, Podaga, CFS 16.3.02. All four trials: Bow Island, Brooks, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat were grown under irrigation. A = first year entries (2017). = Protected by the 1978 Act of the UPOV Convention. = Protected by the 1991 Act of the UPOV Convention. 1 Yields are reported relative to McLeod, yields that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) than the check are indicated. 2 Distance from the ground level to lowest pod tip. 3 Maturity is reported as +/- days relative to McLeod - averaged across the Brooks, Bow Island and Medicine Hat trials. 4 TSW: Thousand Seed Weight.
