According to Manitoba Agriculture, cooler temperatures over the past week have slowed the growth of warm seeded crops.

Most regions received precipitation over the past seven days, with amounts ranging from 3 to 29 mm.

Some crops in low lying areas are experiencing moisture stress.

Herbicide and fungicide applications were delayed due to cool, windy, and wet conditions.

Most crops have received one herbicide application, and second applications are just starting.

Fungicide applications are mostly complete for winter cereals, and are just starting in spring cereals.

There are no major insect issues in field crops, but alfalfa weevil has been reported in the southwest, northwest, and Interlake regions.

Haying has been delayed by wet conditions, although some producers have been able to make progress.

Yields are expected to be below average in some areas of the province.
