Abstract

Vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill, 2n=40] are those which are harvested between R6 and R7 growth stages (approximately 80 % maturity) at which pods are fully formed and still green. It belongs to the family fabaceae and is harvested at the immature R6 stage when the green seeds are fully expanded (Fehr and Caviness 1977). Vegetable soybeans are characterized by large pods (having 2-3 seeds) which are bolder in size (200- 250 mg/100 g fresh seed weight) besides seed being green, soft and sweet in taste.
