Abstract

Evaluation of the performance of the soybean-corn system cultivated in early intercropping (Early System) in comparison to the conventional post-sowing soybean system: (a) Evaluate the growth and development attributes of the corn plant in both systems; (b) Evaluate the productivity of corn and soybean in both systems; and (c) Evaluate the management of nitrogen doses in these systems.
