Abstract

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the seed and total biomass production of Tephrosia candida DC. in different row spacing and harvest period. The experiment was set under field conditions, the treatments were arranged in subplots in a randomized complete block design, and consisted of five row spacing (20, 40, 60, 80 e 120 cm) and three harvest period (12, 18 and 24 months from sowing). The row spacing was kept constant with five plants per linear meter in all treatments. A significant effect was observed from spacing in the dry matter production. Smalls productions had occurred in major spacing. Seed production was influenced by spacing only in the first harvest. The plant heights did not vary in function of spacing, but they increased as a function of the harvest period because the time of development of the plants.
