The general objective of this study is to reduce the number of seeds per planting hole (1 or 2 instead of 3) at sowing, while considering that pruning may stimulate seed production. Specifically, this study seeks to confirm or refute the practice of pruning in soybean, compare the yield of pruned plants with that of non-pruned plants, and, if possible, recommend the practice of pruning (topping) in soybean based on statistical interpretations and socioeconomic analysis.
This study aims to address the problem of low yields, mainly linked to declining soil fertility and the limited availability of large agricultural land areas. The focus is on increasing Soybean production in order to provide sufficient protein in farmers’ diets and generate income. To achieve the expected results, the experimental method was used, employing a Latin square design. This method was complemented by participant observation techniques. Statistical methods enabled the calculation of several parameters. Access to libraries and the internet was essential for the development of this work.
