Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to study the performance of 42 exotic varieties of soybean under Bangladesh climatic conditions. The following characteristics were studied : flower colour, plant height, days to flower and mature, yield, incidence of different diseases and oil, protein, moisture and total carbohydrate contents. Depending on the plant height, the varieties have been divided into short, medium and tall groups and on the basis of days to mature the same were grouped into short, medium and long duration ones. A few varieties have been found modaretly tolerant to different diseases. Yield potentialities of the varieties, Lee-68, Hardee, Davis and Bossier were very high. The highest oil content was obtained from the variety, Corsoy while Biloxi and Bossier gave the highest percentage of protein and carbohydrate, respectively. But in total of these three nutrients, the variety, V-1 (Brazil) was found to be the best.

Objectives:

Tbe present investigation was under. taken to study the performance of 42 exotic varieties of soybean under local environmental conditions in order to select a few of the v.Hieties suitable for cultivation in Bangladesh

Methodology:

The study was made in the experimental field of BCSIR Laboratories, Dacca, having red soil with a pH of 5.6 during the period from July to December, 1975. Forty two soybean varieties Collected previously from different Countries of the world were put under this trial. The seeds were Sown individually on the 4th July. 1975 in 3 m rows with 7.5 cm plant to plant distances. Two to three seeds were put in each hill and after germination thinned to single plants, The distances between two rows were 60 cm. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block design with three replications.

Achievement/Findings:

The variety, Biloxi gave the highest percentage of protein content (43.84%) and was followed by D-70-3185 (43.72:%). Semmes (43.31 %) and Tracy (42 95%) The variety, Bragg showed the lowest percentage of protein (37.91 %). The average protein content of the varieties was found to be 41.04 percent. The highest percentage of total carbohydrate (19.23%) was found in the variety. Bossier. This was followed by the variety, EC-11780 (19.09%) and Pai- MaiTau (18.70%). The lowest percentage of total carbohydrate was obtained in the variety, Tracy (14.65%). The mean total carbohydrate content of the varieties under study was 16.86%. The major nutrient contents ( oil. protein and total carbohydrate) of the variety. V-1 (Brazil) was found to show the highest value (79.30%) while UPSM- 229 showed the lowest value of 76.06 %. The next highest value was with the varieties EC-39752 (79.06%). This was followed by the variety. EC-11780 (79.03%). Protana (79.01 %) and Lee-74 (78.74%). The average total nutrient content was found to be 77.73%.
