Agronomic response of soybean varieties to plant population in the Guinea Savannas of Nigeria
This study examined the agronomic responses of three contrasting soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties to plant populations in two distinct agro‐ecological locations (at Samaru Zaria and Samaru‐Kataf) within the Guinea savanna region of northern Nigeria in the 2009, 2010, and 2011 growing seasons.
Field phenotyping of Soybean roots for drought stress tolerance
The strong association between root and nodule parameters and whole plant productivity demonstrated in this study suggests the potential application of simple root phenotypic markers in screening for drought tolerance in soybean.
