Pioneer (R) variety 9111, rated at 2850 heat units, has excellent standabil- ity and produces high yields of grey hilum soybeans, especially in fertile loam soil. It is a short-statured, bushy variety with strong spring emergence and tolerance to phytophthora root rot. Pioneer (R) 9161, along with its strong stalks and good shattering resis- tance, has high yield potential. Rated at 2950 heat units, it responds well to nar- row row planting, offers fast spring emergence, and has excellent tolerance to phytophthora root rot. Pioneer (R) 9272, a 3150 heat -unit variety, has excellent resistance to lodg- ing and good tolerance to phytophthora root rot, brown stem rot, and iron defi- ciency chlorosis. High podding height and good shattering resistance make harvesting easier.0 TRAP MONITORS INSECTS IN GRAIN An insect trap has been developed by an Agriculture Canada scientist to help farmers reduce their dependence on chemicals to control bugs in grain bins. The trap isn't meant to eliminate insects, says Dr. Sam Loschiavo, but to let a farmer know if he can use an alter- native to chemicals by estimating the number and kinds of bugs in the grain. The 29 -cm perforated tube is pushed into the grain for a week. Bugs walk through the perforations and are trapped in a holding tank. In many cases, the bugs are feeding on mould or fungus and can be eliminated by moving the grain or using an aeration system.0 QUEEN'S BUSH RURAL MINISTRY "Helping You to Survive the Rural Crisis" If we can help you, call collect, 519-392-6090.
