GROWTH, YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF SOYBEAN (GLYCINE max (L) MERRILL) AS INFLUENCED BY SOWING DATE AND PLANT POPULATION
ABSTRACT
An investigation was carried out during the 1987 cropping year at Samaru, Zaria, to study the effect of three sowing datea (June 24, July 8 and July 22), three plant population (200,000; 350,000 and 500,000 plants/hectare) and two soybean varieties (TGX536.020 and TGX814-26D) on growth, yield and yield components of soybean. Seed sown on June 24 with a mean seed yield of 2647.88kg/ha out-yielded that sown on July B and July 22, respectively. Delay in showing from June 24 to July 8 and July 22 led to a decrease in number of flowers, pods per plant, effective nodules (8 WAS), crude protein, oil content and 100-seed weight Increasing plant population led to increase in crude protein content, effective nodules (84AS), plant height and plant lodging. Variety TGX814.26D out-yielded variety TGX536-02D in number of flowers, pods per plant, crude protein and had higher grain yield While variety TGX536-D2D had higher number of nodes, lodged plants and number of branchea than variety TGX814-26D
