Abstract
The growth and development of seven soybean cultivars were studied und er shade in a coconut garden. Higher shoot height, internodal elongati on and lower leaf area index were the most significant growth changes noticed under shade. Leaf net photosynthesis, crop growth rate and see d yield were also reduced under shade. The cultivars CO 1, UGM 30 and UGM 37 recorded higher yield under shade when compared to other cultiv ars tested.
