Abstract
The effects of plant density on seed yield of two cool tolerant soybean cultivars were examined in two consecutive seasons at the same site at Lincoln University, Canterbury. In the first season (2000/2001) 25 plant densities ranging from 2 to 84 plants/m2 were established using a systematic (radial) trial design, while in the second season (2001/2002) 5 plant densities (from 20 to 80 plants/m2) were established in replicated plots using a randomised complete block design. Soybean seed yield increased in both seasons as plant density increased to 40 plants/m2, but did not differ among plant densities ranging from 40 to 77 plants/m 2 • Seed yields ranged from 214 to 395 g/m 2 in 2000/2001 and from 221 to 276 g/m2 in 2001/2002 depending on density. Cultivar March out yielded cv. Northern Conquest in the first season, but the reverse occurred in the second season. There was no cultivar x plant density interaction for seed yield in either season. At this site, plant populations higher than 40 plants/m2 did not result in further increases in seed yield because pod number per plant and individual
