Management tendencies and needs: a joint proposal to maximize soybean grain yield

Abstract

The objective of the study was to evidence efficient management strategies in order to maximize soybean grain yield. The experiments took place at Centro de Pesquisas e Resultados Agronômicos das Missões (CPRAM), located in Entre - Ijuís - Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Three experiments were carried out in a randomized block design with four replications per treatment. The experiments were based on soybean crop management. Soil cover with vetch enhanced soybean grain yield. The cultivar BRS 5804RR® presented the best productive performance in the arrangements of 7 and 11 seeds m-1. Artificial defoliation did not influence soybean grain yield.
