Significant variations were observed among the genotypes for all the characters studied. Genotypic and phenotypic variations were highest for plant height and pods/plant. Characters like days to maturity, 100 seed weight, plant height, first pod setting height, pods/plant and seed yield/plant showed high heritability. The highest genetic advance associated with highest heritability value for plant height and pods/plant suggests a good scope for selection for these characters to increase the productivity of soybean.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/276323}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.276323}, }
