Abstract: The current investigation was carried out during kharif season of 2018 to study the effect of different soybean varieties, sulphur levels and their interaction at the Post Graduate Research Farm, R.C.S.M. College of Agriculture, Kolhapur (MS) in split plot design with three replication and 15 treatment combinations consisting five varieties and three sulphur levels on medium black soil. The yield and quality attributes like number of pods plant-1, weight of pods plant-1, number of seeds pods-1, weight of seeds plant-1, 100 seeds weight, oil and protein content as well as yield were also maximum with the variety KDS 726, however it was comparable with the variety KDS 344. As a result, the variety KDS 726 had the highest seed (28.57 q ha-1) and stover (42.56 q ha-1) yield. Similarly the oil and the protein content (19.36% and 43.16%) was also maximum in the variety KDS 726. As regards to the sulphur levels the yield and quality attributes like number of pods plant-1, weight of pods plant-1, weight of seeds plant-1, 100 seeds weight, oil and protein content as well as yield were also maximum and influenced significantly by application of 30 Kg S ha-1 but comparable with 20 Kg S ha-1. As a result the application of 30 Kg S ha-1 had the highest seed (26.76 q ha-1) and stover (39.73 q ha-1) yields, as well as the oil and the protein content (19.06% and 42.92%).
