The experiment was conducted in three locations Jari, Chefa and Sirinka of Eastern Amhara to select the best performing varieties, in terms of biomass yield, chemical composition, haulm yield, seed yield and other agronomic characteristics of Glycine max (L.) Merrill grown under the rain- fed condition of lowland areas of Eastern Amhara in a randomized complete block design with tree replications. Twelve released soybean varieties were Afgat ,Belesa-95, Boshe , Cheri , Dhidhessa, Gishama , Gizo, Korme, Pawe-03, katta, Wegayen and Wollo were used as a treatments. The seeds were planted in 40 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants on a plot size of 3.2m*4m. Spacing between blocks and plots were 1 and 0.5m, respectively. The seed rate was 60 kg/ha and a fertilizer rate 100 kg/ha NPS was applied during seed planting. The combined analysis of variance over two years at location Jari for dry matter yield of varieties Afgat, Gizo, Pawe-03, Wogayen and Wollo were significantly higher as compared to other soybean varieties. The combined analysis across locations at Jari and Sirinka (2019-second year) showed that varieties Afgat, Gishama, Gizo, Pawe-03, Wogayen and Wollo had higher dry matter yield and varieties Gishama (3.97 t/ha), Gizo (3.60 t/ha), Pawe-03 (4.04 t/ha) and Wogayen (3.36 t/ha) had higher haulm yield as compared with other varieties. The combined analysis across locations at Jari and Sirinka (2019) showed that varieties Pawe-03(2951 kg/ha), Gizo (2862 kg/ha), Afgat (2859 kg/ha), Gishama (2654 kg/ha),Wollo (2461 kg/ha) and Wogayen (2404 kg/ha) had higher seed yield as compared with other varieties. The variety Wollo gave higher crud protein content in two locations (Jari and Sirinka) .Therefore, varieties Afgat, Pawe-03 and Wollo were recommends for the given areas of Jari , Chefa, Sirinka and could be produced in similar environments for the best of produced optimal amount of dry matter, haulm and seed yield and good protein supplement for production of ruminants.Thus, further researches will be needed to investigate on the utilization of livestock.

A positive relationship generally exists between the duration of seed-fill period (SFP) and seed yield in soybean, but exceptions have been reported. The objective of this research was to determine if differences in N2 fixation or N accumulation could explain inconsistent relationships between duration of SFP and seed yield in soybean. For this study, five experimental soybean (Glycine max L. [Men.]) lines were selected on the bases of differences in SFP and seed yield in previous experiments. The experiment was designed to compare lines differing in both SFP and seed yield, differing in SFP but not seed yield, and differing in seed yield but not SFP. Total N2 fixation, using 15N-dilution techniques; total N accumulation, using a semi-micro-Kjeldahl procedure; and total dry matter accumulation, including all vegetative material abscised before maturity were measured on these lines grown in a Flanagan silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Aquic Argiudolls) in 1984 and 1985 at Urbana, IL. Mean dinitrogen fixed ranged from 36 to 76 kg ha−1 in 1984 and from 65 to 113 kg ha−1 in 1985. The percentage of the total plant N derived from fixation ranged from 17 to 35% in 1984 and from 32 to 48% in 1985. Statistically significant differences in seed yield were not detected in this experiment because of the high coefficient of variation associated with the small plot size. High N2 fixation was not related to duration of SFP or previous seed yield classification. Total plant N did not differ among these genotypes. For these soybean lines differences in duration of SFP and previous seed yield classification were not related to total N2 fixation or N accumulation.Key words: Glycine max, harvest index, N partitioning, N2 fixation, seed-fill period

An experiment was conducted at saline agro-ecosystem of Burir Char Union, Barguna District during January to June 2018, with a view to find out  the fertilizer management for maximizing soybean (Glycine max L.) production in saline agro-ecosystem was laid out in randomized complete block design consisted of three varieties of soybean and four levels of fertilizer doses with three replications. Three varieties of soybean viz. BARI Soybean-5, BARI Soybean-6 and Binasoybean-3 and  four fertilizer levels viz. T1 = 25-30-45-10-1.0-1.0 kgha-1 N-P-K-S-Zn-B (Soil test based fertilizer); T2 = 30-40-60-12-2.0-1.0 kgha-1 N-P-K-S-Zn-B (Fertilizer recommendation guide, 2012); T3 = 40-20-15-0-0-0 kgha-1 N-P-K-S-Zn-B (Farmers practices); T4 = Control native fertility were considered  which placed in a factorial randomized block design. The variety had significant influence on plant height, branches plant-1, number of filled pods plant-1, number of unfilled pods plant-1, seed yield plant-1, seed yield (t ha-1), stover yield (t ha-1). BARI Soybean-6 performed better than the other two varieties. The fertilizer doses had significant influence on plant height, branches plant-1, number of filled pods plant-1, number of unfilled pods plant-1, seed yield plant-1, 100-seed weight, seed yield (t ha-1), stover yield (t ha-1). Fertilizer doses 25-30-45-10-1.0-1.0 kgha-1 N-P-K-S-Zn-B (Soil test based fertilizer) gave the maximum yield. The interaction between variety and fertilizer doses V2T1 (BARI Soybean-6 and 25-30-45-10-1.0-1.0 kgha-1 N-P-K-S-Zn-B) produced the maximum yield SO, the variety BARI Soybean-6  with  fertilizer dose 25-30-45-10-1.0-1.0 kgha-1 N-P-K-S-Zn-B could be suitable combination for higher yield of soybean in saline agro ecosystem of Barguna.

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) is one of the most important crops worldwide. In several European countries such as Germany, soybean cultivation is not traditional and as such remains to be optimized. One option to increase soybean production is to adapt and improve the seeding system. To investigate the effects of different seeding systems on seed yield, seed protein, and oil content, plant characteristics were assessed using a two-factorial (two seeding systems and four cultivars) field trial over two years (2017–2018) at two locations in southeast Germany. The seeding systems were drill (row spacing 14 cm) and precision seeding (row spacing 28 cm), and the cultivars were Viola 000, Lissabon 000, ES Mentor 00, and Orion 00. Depending on the seeding system, a seed yield of 3.8 t ha−1 dry matter (DM), 40.9% protein content (DM), and 18.8% oil content (DM) was achieved by drilling, and 3.6 t ha−1 yield (DM), 40.1% protein content (DM), and 19.1% oil content (DM) with precision seeding (average across four cultivars, two locations, and two years). No significant effects of the seeding system on all seed and plant characteristics were observed. As drilling and precision seeding did not affect the seed yield, seed protein, oil contents, and plant characteristics of soybean in this study, farmers are able to choose the seeding system which fits best into their farms and is economically most viable.

An investigation entitled as “Correlation for yield and yield contributing traits in soybean [Glycine max (L).Merrill.] was conducted during Kharif 2018 at Instructional Farm, Department of Agriculture Botany, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agriculture University, Parbhani. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and seven treatments viz., T1-untreated seeds,T2-Polymer coating, T3-T2+Vitavax, T4-T3+GA3 100ppm, T5-T3+CCC 100ppm, T6-T3+, NAA 50ppm, T7- T3+IAA 50ppm. Seed yield is a complex character and is dependent on number of component characters. Therefore, study of relationship of characters with each other and with seed yield become more important in crop improvement programme. Therefore, it is essential to find out relative contribution of each of the component character with yield. In present study yield and yield contributing character of seed yield was positive and significant correlated with field plant height, number of branches per plant, chlorophyll content, leaf area, germination per cent, moisture per cent, total dry weight, 100 seed weight, oil content, protein content, harvest index and no. of seeds per pod. The results also obtained from this study days to 50 per cent flowering and days to harvest are negative significant to other yield and yield parameter.
