We present a measurement of CP asymmetry using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B{sup 0}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0} decays based on a 414 fb{sup -1} data sample containing 449x10{sup 6}BB pairs. The data was collected on the {upsilon}(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. Combining our analysis with information on charged B decay modes, we perform a full Dalitz and isospin analysis and obtain a constraint on the CKM angle {phi}{sub 2}, 68 deg. <{phi}{sub 2}<95 deg. as the 68.3% confidence interval for the {phi}{sub 2} solution consistent with the standard model (SM). A large SM-disfavored region also remains.
