Effects of leaf and pod removal on changes in leaf and seed number, and leaf, seed, pod and stem dry weight of soybean [Glycine max (L,) Merr.] cultivar ‘Hwangkeumkong’ were measured at the research farm of Korea University in 1992. The upper 40% and lower 60% of leaves and pods were subjected to treatments at the growth stage of beginning pod(R3). Leaf number and dry weight of lower part were increased by upper leaf-lower pod removal, but seed number and dry weight were decreased. Upper leaf-lower pod removal increased lower stem dry weight and decreased upper pod dry weight. Leaf-seed ratio of the upper leaf-lower pod removal was the highest with 3.54 and harvest index was the lowest with 27% among the treatments. Lower leaf-upper pod removal showed that more assimilates from upper leaves were translocated to lower seeds than from lower leaves to upper seeds in upper leaf-lower pod removal treatment.
