Abstract: Soybean contains lysine rich 40-42% protein, 20-22 percent oil high in essential fatty acid. It provides phytochemicals which protect human body against cancers and diabetes. It is a key component of global food security and so it is important to maintain its quality economically in order to face off problem of malnutrition. In the face of development of new varieties with variable genetic potential, it is of utmost importance to analyse their potential under different agro-techniques for the production of better yield, quality and quantity wise. The present study was thus planned to analyse the economics of soybean production and effect on its quality under different varieties and land configurations in mollisols of himalayan tarai. The present experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2017, in C5 block of N.E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (Uttarakhand). Treatments consisted of three land configurations (Flat bed, ridge and furrow and raised bed) and varieties (PS-1092, PS-1225 and PS-1347) were set out in split plot design keeping land configurations in main plot and varieties in sub plot with three replication. Protein and oil content were not affected by land configuration and varieties. The gross, net returns and Benefit cost ratio were significantly highest with ridge & furrow method of sowing. Variety PS-1225 recorded significantly higher protein yield than other varities followed by PS-1347. All the economic parameters were the highest with variety PS-1225 and significantly higher than both remaining varieties. The study revealed that quality of soybean was not much affected by varieties and land configuration, however, economically, ridge & furrow method of sowing and variety PS-1225 were found to be better than others without having any interaction among them.
