Assessment of the Physiological Response and Productive Performance of Vegetable vs. Conventional Soybean Cultivars for Edamame Production

Because there is a close relationship between plant physiological response and crop performance, the current study aims to evaluate photosynthetic efficiency productive performance of vegetable versus conventional soybean cultivars for edamame production. The was conducted at School Agriculture (FCA UNESP), Botucatu-SP, Brazil. treatments in this included cultivars: vegetable-type BRS 267, BRSMG 790A), type cultivar grain 58HO124 EP RR, with ten repetitions per treatment completely randomized block design. Gas exchange light were evaluated characterization. first pod insertion height, number pods plant, production immature grains all assessed performance. types showed different behaviors on physiology yield. vegetable-types 267 790A had highest average height. whose photoassimilates designated vegetative development, greatest RR greater assimilation CO2; however, directed floral emission because such features are inherent its ability. Finally, produced most while also having being best converting
