Abstract

To evaluate the performance of the soybean-maize system cultivated in early intercropping (Anticipated System) compared to the conventional post-soybean sowing system: (a) To evaluate the growth and development attributes of the maize plant in both systems; (b) evaluate the productivity of maize and soybean in both systems; and (c) To evaluate the management of nitrogen doses in these systems.
