“…Variety VMAX, which presents an upright set and indeterminate growth habit stood out in the accumulation of fresh and dry mass, with 9.26 and 8.92%, respectively, in the cross-seeding system in comparison to the conventional method. Rodrigues et al (2007) observed higher production of dry mass for denser spacings for the same population of plants. Balbinot Junior et al (2012) obtained contradictory results working with crossed soybean spacing system in Paraná; the largest accumulation of dry leaves, branches and pods per plant was in one with 375,000 seeds ha-1 compared to 562,500 seeds ha -1 , namely conventional and cross-seeding systems, respectively.…”
