Step 1: Select Municipalities or Risk Areas
This section is used to select area(s) of the province to be queried. Click a radio button (at left) to select either Municipalities or Risk Areas. Click to highlight your selection in the scrollable list, or hold down the 'Ctrl' key and click to highlight/select multiple areas. To select the entire province, click to select 'all'. The areas you select will appear in green text (at right) below the selection area.
Step 2: Select Crop(s)
This section is used to select crop(s) for your query. Click to highlight your selection in the scrollable list, or hold down the 'Ctrl' key and click to highlight/select multiple crops. To select all crops, click to select 'all'. The crops you select will appear in green text (at right) below the selection area.
Step 3: Select Pesticide(s)
This section is used to select pesticides applied the crops/varieties you selected in the previous steps. First, click a radio button to select either 'Herbicides', 'Pesticides' or 'Fungicides', then click to select 'By Product Group' or 'By Product Name'. Click to highlight your selection in the scrollable list, or hold down the 'Ctrl' key and click to highlight/select multiple products. The products you select will appear in green text (at right) below the selection area.
Step 4: Select Year(s)
This section is used to select a range of years to query. To select the start year, click in the 'From:' drop-down menu, then click to select a year from the list. To select the end year, click in the To:' drop-down menu, then click to select a year from the list. If you select a start year but no end year, your search results will include all years after your selected start year. The range you select will appear in green text (at right) below the selection area.
Step 5: Finalize
Review your selection, then click the 'Search' button to begin your search. If your search contains any invalid selections, they will be shown as an 'ERROR' just below the invalid selection step.
After you click the 'Search' button, your browser will immediately switch to the Search Summary / Raw Data screen, where you can review the results of your selection. On the 'Search Summary' tab, you can review your selection criteria, number of records returned from the MASC database, the number of farms and acres that match your search, as well as the average yield of these acres.
Click the 'Raw Data' tab to review the results of your search exactly as it's formatted by the MASC server. To scroll, click-and-hold the scroll bar below the data set and drag right/left with your mouse. To save the raw data as a .TXT file (which you can import as a spreadsheet), click the 'Save Raw Data' button and follow the instructions given in the newly opened dialog box.
To initiate a new search and return to the criteria selection screen, click the 'New Search' button.
This information is a compilation of pesticide and yield information reported to MASC by producers. MASC does not assume responsibility for, and has not verified the accuracy of, the yield information reported by producers. This information is meant to be used as a planning tool in conjunction with common sense and experience. Contact your local Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Representative for assistance in utilizing this information.
Yield Units
Imperial yields are reported on a per acre basis for each crop in the various standard units of measure: bushels, pounds, tons or hundred weight. In the case of bushels, the standard test weight for each crop will also vary. Use CAUTION when comparing yield values for crops where the standard unit of measure differs.Pesticide Information
Producers report to MASC that they have used a product, but do not specify either the rate or percentage of acres that the product was actually applied. This means that pesticide acreage data for any product or group of products will tend to be overestimates. Additionally, overlapping product applications are counted as separate acreages, which means acreage totals can seem misleading (e.g. if 2,4-D and Refine Extra were applied to a 160-acre field, the total reported acreage would be 320-acres.Producer Confidentiality Maintained
To maintain the confidentiality of producers, the data presented here is aggregated, and must be a compilation of data from at least three producers and a minimum of 500 acres. Results with data sets smaller than this are shown as 'Below Minimum Tolerance'.Caution
Management and environmental influences have not been standardized in the reported values, so please exercise caution with interpreting the results, particularly when there is limited acreage or years of information. Data is most credible when it is obtained from a large acreage over many years for similar crops.
