Influence of season on maturity and seed yield in soybean seed production


Author(s): Dalvi DG

Abstract: A field experiment consisting of five soybean genotypes (JS-335, MAUS-81, MAUS-71, MAUS-47 and MAUS-61) with four replication was conducted in three season viz. kharif, rabi and summer at Seed Technology Research Unit, VNMKV, Parbhani to find out the influence of season on maturity and seed yield in soybean seed production. Result revealed that the maturity period is the sum of length of pre-flowering period and pod development; among these the pre-flowering period is greatly influenced by seasonal variation, where as pod development and maturity are relatively stable. The fluctuation in yield and number of pods/plant is the amplified effect of variation in pre-flowering period occurring under the influence of seasonal changes. The genotypes MAUS-71 and MAUS-81 were found most ideal for year round cultivation as it has high yield potential, least co-efficient of variation and highest number of pods plant.
