Soybean producers need to be aware of the potential yield loss from deficit stands and the cost of replanting. Gaps within rows and less-than-optimal plant populations contribute to yield loss. Information is lacking in double-cropped soybean. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the yield response of double-cropped soybean to deficit stands. Soybean was planted in 46-cm rows following wheat harvest to obtain target plant populations of 240, 340, 440, and 540 thousand plants per hectare. At two weeks after planting, 1-m long, equally-spaced gaps were established over 0, 20, 40 or 60% of the plot area. Yield dependencies on plant population within each gap treatment were tested with standard orthogonal polynomial coefficients to determine linear or quadratic trends and with non-linear techniques. From these data, the yield response of double-cropped soybean to deficit stands was determined.
