Abstract: Thirty six genotypes of soybean with twelve quantitative characters were analyzed for the variability parameters in Randomized Complete Block Design during Kharif 2015. In the study, the genotypes exhibited wide range of variability among the twelve characters. The magnitude of PCV was found to be higher than the value of GCV and ECV. High value of PCV along with GCV was exhibited by seed yield per plant, harvest index, number of pods per plant, basal pod height, basal node height and dry matter weight per plant indicates the minimal role of environment and maximum role of genetic factors in expression of these characters. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance (%) was observed in dry matter weight per plant, plant height, basal node height, basal pod height, number of nodes per plant, number of primary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, yield per plant and harvest index, indicating the preponderance of additive gene action involved in the expression of these characters which could be highly rewarding during selection.
