Black soybean is one of the sources of food that is needed by the people of Indonesia, but its existence is very limited due to the limited area of production that is suitable for its growth so it results in less than optimal production. This study aims to develop new innovations in soybean planting systems by looking at their vegetative growth in terms of the amount of chlorophyll and leaf area index and whether or not it affects vegetative growth. The method in this study used randomized block design with 3 factorials consisting of 4 different cultivars, spacing, and pruning. The parameters measured in this study were chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll ratio, and leaf area index. The results obtained on the leaf area index found in the cultivar Detam 4 Prida (K4P2J1) with a total of 121, 33 cm while the amount of chlorophyll in the cultivar Detam 4 Prida (K4P1J1) was 6.37 mol/m2. This study concludes that each treatment is very influential on the growth of soybean plants with a multi-canopy planting system, especially on the cultivar type and spacing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
