Genetic divergence among twenty-one genotypes of soybean using Mahalanobis D2 statistics revealed considerable variability among the genotypes for eight characters. The genotypes were grouped into four distinct clusters. The inter-cluster distances were larger than the intra-cluster distances suggesting wider genetic diversity among the genotypes of different groups. The inter-cluster average D values showed maximum distance between cluster II and I followed by between ll and Ill. The genetically diversed genotypes from these groups could be used as parents in hybridization program for getting desirable seggregants. Germplasms much in use of these characters of respective clusters would offer a good scope of improvement of the crops through rational selection.
