Genotype x Environment Interaction in Glycine max (L.) Merrill Varietal Tests

Abstract

                                Studies of 31 soybean cultivars grown at two locations under six bimonthly sowings revealed genotype x location interaction relatively large for plant height, number of nodes, pods and seeds and seed yield and highly significant for all the traits evaluated except for days to 50% flowering. Genotype x season interaction showed significance only for days to first flowering, 50% flowering and maturity and plant height. A theoretical total variance of genotype means computed for seed yield indicated the im- portance of location effects in testing soybean cultivars.
