Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Significant differences were observed among the tested soybean varieties in terms of plant height (cm), No. of branch plant^-1, No. of pod plant^{- 1}, no. of seed pod^{- 1}, weight of seeds plant ^-1 (g), 1000-seed wt. (g) and yield (tha^-1). The soybean var. BARI Soyabean-6 was recorded the highest plant height 60.00 and 61.50 cm among the varieties and the lowest 57.35 and 55.76 cm by Shohag in 2011-12 and 2-12-13, respectively. The highest number of pods plant^{- 1} (14.00 and 13.66) was found in BARI Soybean-6 in both the years. The highest numbers of seeds pod^{- 1} (2.68 and 2.48) were recorded from the variety Shohag while BARI Soyabean-5 recorded the lowest number of seeds pod^-1 (2.47) during 2011-12 and BARI Soyabean-6 (2.16) during 2012-13. The highest weight of seeds plant^-1 (8.77 g and 7.92 g) was recorded in Shohag in both years and the lowest weight of seeds plant^-1 (6.45 g and 5.58 g) were from BARI Soybean-6. The highest 1000-seed weight (90.00 g and 89.00 g) were recorded from BARI Soybean-5 and the lowest 1000-seed weight from BARI Soyabean-6. The highest seed yield of 0. 58 and 0. 55 t ha^-1 was recorded from BARI Soybean-6 that followed by Shohag (0. 52 and 0.50 t ha^-1) and the lowest yield (0. 48 t ha^{- l} and 0.46 t ha^{- 1}) from BARI Soybean-5 in both the cropping years.

Keywords: Hill agriculture, Protein and vegetable oil, Soybean

Location: Hill Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh, Khagrachari

Start Date: 00-00-2011

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Soybean

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of soybean varieties in respect of maturity period, seed yield and yield contributing characters at three different locations of CHT zone for the development of soil condition as well as increase productivity of oil crops.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at hill valley of Hill Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh, Khagrachari during kharif-2 season of 2011-12 and 2012-13. The soil of this hill area belongs to AEZ 27 and the soil bears acidic soil. Three different soybean varieties (Shohag, BARI Soybean-5 and BARI Soybean-6) were included in the experiment. The trial was laid out in a randomized complete block design with five replications. The unit plot size was 3 m x 3 m. Seeds of soybean (Shohag, BARI Soybean-5 and BARI Soybean-6) were sowing according to treatment with the spacing of 30 cm x 30 cm. Lime was applied due to minimize the acidity effect. Fertilizers at the rate of 60-175-120-115 kg ha^{- 1}as urea, triple super phosphate (TSP) muriate of potash (MoP) and Gypsum respectively along with 10 ton cowdung. All fertilizers were applied as basal during final land preparation. Weeding, irrigation and insecticides were sprayed as and when required to maintain an optimum growth condition for the crop. It was harvested after 95 Days after sowing when the pods were turned to yellowish color and leaves were fallen down. Plant height, number of branches plant^-1, number of pods plant^-1, number of seeds plant^-1, weight of seeds plant^{- 1}, 1000-seed weight and yield (t ha^-l) were recorded. The collected data were analyzed statistically and means were separated using LSD test at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

The highest seed yield of 0. 58 and 0. 55 t ha^-1 was recorded from BARI Soybean-6 that followed by Shohag (0. 52 and 0.50 t ha-¹) and the lowest yield (0. 48 t ha^{- l} and 0.46 t ha^{- 1}) was obtained from BARI Soybean-5 in both the cropping years. Results of the present study indicated that BARI Soybean-6 would be suitable for cultivation in hill region but more trial is needed for its confirmation in the hilly areas.
