Abstract

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an important oil seeds crop of India. The Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya [JNKVV], Jabalpur has evolved 12 varieties of soybean (Table 1). It includes short duration, determinate (JS 71-5), wide adaptive (JS 72-44 and JS 335), suitable for marginal land with poor management (JS 76-205), abiotic stress tolerance (JS 80-21), four-seeded pod coupled with early maturity (JS 90-41, JS 93-05 and JS 95-60) and multiple resistance (JS 97-52) varieties. Soybean varieties developed at JNKVV, Jabalpur are more popular across India.
