Influence of inter-row spacing and cultivar on the productivity of soybean

Abstract

Influence of inter-row spacing on a productivity of soybean yield was studied on the experimental field on low carbonate chernozem soil. The greatest grain weight per plant (13.22 g) was achieved at the smallest row spacing. It decreased at higher row spacing, except for cultivar Balkan, where value of these parameters was the highest (13.09 g). The highest grain yield (4,868 kg ha-1) was determined at the 20 cm inter-row width. It decreased equally at bigger row spacing for 7.0-12.9%. The highest grain yield was achieved with Balkan cultivar (4,773 kg ha-1), and the lowest with Dragana cultivar (4,284 kg ha-1).
