Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max L.) has been extensively cultivated in maize–soybean relay intercrop** systems in southwest China. However, during the early co-growth period, soybean seedlings suffer from severe shading by maize resulting in lodging and significant yield reduction. The purpose of the present research was to investigate the reasons behind severe lodging and yield loss. Therefore, four different soybean genotypes (B3, B15, B23, and B24) having different agronomic characteristics were cultivated in intercrop** and monocrop** planting patterns. The results showed that under different planting patterns, the stem resistance varied among genotypes (P < 0.01). The lodging resistance index of B3, B15, B23, and B24 genotypes was 70.9%, 60.5%, 65.2%, and 57.4%, respectively, under intercrop**, among which the B24 genotype was less affected by the shade environment as there was little decrease in the lodging resistance index of this genotype under intercrop**. The lignin content of B23 and B24 was significantly higher than that of B3 and B15 under both planting patterns. Under intercrop**, the hemicellulose content of B23 and B24 stems was significantly higher than that of B3 and B15. Compared to the monocrop**, the content of mannose in the structural carbohydrate of soybean stems was decreased in all genotypes except B23, but the difference was not significant. The content of xylose in the structural carbohydrate of soybean stems was significantly higher than that in B3 and B15. Mannose content showed no significant difference among genotypes. The arabinose content of B24 was significantly higher than that of B3, B15, and B23. The effective pod number, seed number per plant, seed weight per plant and yield of soybean plants were significantly decreased under intercrop**. Conclusively, manipulation of structural and nonstructural carbohydrate rich soybean genotypes in intercrop** systems could alleviate the yield loss due to lodging.
