| dc.description.abstract | Field experiments were conducted at AICRP-National Seed Project (Crops), University of Agricultural Sciences, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bengaluru during Kharif and Rabi season of 2018-19. Ten selected cultivars of soybean were planted in three replications to evaluate their performance for yield and quality using a completely randomized block design. The results showed significant difference among the cultivars and planting seasons. The cultivar, DSb-21 recorded highest seed yield of 23.00 q ha-1 with maximum plant height (40.66 cm), number of branches per plant (8.72), days to flower initiation (45.53), days to maturity (89.33), hundred seed weight (11.27 g), pods per plant (109.63), harvest index (0.54) and total dry matter (49.00) during Kharif 2018 season. However, during Rabi 2018-19, cultivar JS-2069 had performed better among all the tested entries with respect to seed yield and quality which was recorded the highest seed yield of 16.66 q ha-1, plant height (32.29 cm), number of branches (8.60), days to flower initiation and maturity (47.00 and 88.00 respectively), hundred seed weight (10.12 g) and pods per plant (95.65). Considering the yield and yield contributing characters of all the ten tested entries in both the planting seasons, the overall performance of the cultivars was better in Kharif 2018 season compared to Rabi 2018-19. Further, highest seed quality parameters viz., seed germination (97.33 %), seedling vigour index I (3834), seedling vigour index II (6508), protein (36.68%), and oil content (18.65 %) were observed in NRC-37 during Kharif 2018, while higher values (97.33%, 3750, 6686, 38.24% and 18.20% respectively) in JS-9560 during Rabi 2018-19. | en_US |
