Abstract: The field experiment entitled “Evaluation of Soybean varieties for Kymore Plateau and Satpura Hills zone of Madhya Pradesh†was carried out during Kharif season of 2017-18 at Product Testing Unit, Department of Agronomy, JNKVV, Jabalpur. The investigation was aimed to identify the most suitable variety of soybean for Kymore Plateau and Satpura Hills zone of Madhya Pradesh was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and nine treatments. Data on growth parameters (viz., plant population, plant height, branches/plant, root nodules/plant) phenological characters (viz. days to flower initiation, days to 50% flowering and days to maturity), on weeds (viz., weed smothering efficiency) at the different intervals and harvest, yield attributes (pods/plant, seeds/pod and seed index) were taken. Study revealed that soybean cv.JS 20-69 was significantly superior in growth and yield attributing parameters. Phonological characters were significantly earlier attained by JS 95-60. Both seed and stover yields were significantly higher in soybean cv. JS 20-69. However, the variety Pandrinath-1 was found inferior as compare to other varieties. Soybean cv. JS 97-52 was superior in weed smothering efficiency (WSE). The variety JS 20-69 was also found more remunerative as it attained higher value of NMR (Rs.42,909) and B:C ratio (2.34).
