Abstract

The present study aims to evaluate the influence of plant spatial arrangement and water supplementation on soybean yield for the 2020/21 crop year, in the edaphoclimatic conditions of the central region of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). The field experiment was installed in an experimental area of ​​ the Rio Grande do Sul State University (UERGS) in the city of Cachoeira do Sul. Supplementary irrigation provided positive increases in soybean yield between 13% (row spacing of 0.75 m) and 35% (row spacing of 0.50 m). The conventional row spacing of 0.50 m can be recommended as a spatial arrangement strategy for both irrigated areas (productivity 5,196.6 kg ha-1) and rainfed areas (productivity 3,360.0 kg ha-1), optimizing costs regarding the mechanization of farming.
