Other claims from this paper (8)
- 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.
- Method / resource Branch dry matter was useful for identifying cultivars with low optimal population.
