“…The results showed that soybean grown among coconuts had an average height of 70.6 cm, but not significantly different than that of soybean in open land. Some research results also suggest that shade causes increased plant height and reduced soybean stem diameter [7,12,22,31,32]. According to [24], lack of light due to shade changes plant morpho-physiology, such as increasing specific leaf area, stem length and leaf width, but on the other hand decreases stem diameter and total dry matter.…”
