摘要

Most studies that found soybean high phenotypic plasticity under different seeding rates adopted the same fertilization levels used for the recommended seeding rates. Therefore, the interaction between these factors is little known. This study aims to assess the interaction between seeding rate and levels of phosphorus and potassium fertilization on soybean growth, grain yield and contents of protein and oil in the grains. The experiment was carried out under a randomized complete block design, in a split-plot scheme, with six replicates. Four seeding rates (150, 300, 440 and 560 thousand viable seeds ha(-1)) were used in the plots, and two levels of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer were applied in the subplots to meet the export of 3 and 6 t ha(-1) of grains (level 1 = 30 kg ha(-1) of P2O5 + 60 kg ha(-1) of K2O; and level 2 = 60 kg ha(-1) of P2O5 + 120 kg ha(-1) of K2O). There was no interaction between the experimental factors. Increase in fertilizer doses did not alter the evaluated characteristics, regardless of the seeding rate. Seeding rate did not change grain yield or protein and oil contents, but at low densities there was an increase in the number of pods per plant, apparent harvest index and SPAD index.
