- Intervention effect A 58% population decrease caused only a 12% soybean yield decrease.
- Intervention effect A 43% population increase produced no significant soybean yield change.
- Observation Branch dry matter averaged 14.0 g per plant at low population.
- Observation Branch dry matter averaged 5.3 g per plant at medium population.
- Observation Branch dry matter averaged 3.6 g per plant at high population.
- Association Greater branch dry matter yielded more branch nodes, reproductive nodes and pods.
- Association Pods per reproductive branch node affected yield in some cases.
- Association Branch dry matter correlated strongly with yield at r squared 0.95.
