Lower planting density produced a larger increase in branch seed yield, which compensated for the decrease in main stem number per unit land area, and this was closely associated with cultivar differences in yield response.

- Association US soybean cultivars at planting densities of 16.7 plants m−2 or less had markedly higher seed yields than Hokkaido cultivars, being less sensitive to lower planting density.
- Association Some US soybean cultivars showed greater branching plasticity than Japanese cultivars with similar growth duration.
