Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Objective of the study was 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. 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. Results of the present study indicated that soybean BARI Soybean-6 would be suitable for cultivation in hill region but more trial is needed the variety in the hilly region.

Objectives:

The present experiment has been undertaken 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-1) were recorded. The collected data were analyzed statistically and means were separated using LSD test at 5% level of significance.
