GENETIC ENHANCEMENT OF SOYBEAN

Published on Jul 27, 2018 03:14 AM

Soybean is second most important oil seed crop in India. Yellow seeded soybean was
introduced in India in 1963-64. Over a period of three decades there has been an
exponential increase in area and production of the crop. But the productivity is stagnant
around 1 tonne/ha whereas the world average is 2240 kg/ha. In this article an attempt
has been made to analyse various reasons for low productivity and some suggestions
have been made to increase productivity.
 

Keywords: Genetic enhancement, narrow genetic base, physiological constraints, future prospects
