Abstract

Soybean is gaining importance in India.  Identifying suitable soybean growing seasons necessitates for exploiting maximum yield potential in specific location. A time of sowing experiment with soybean var. Co. I was conducted to find the best time of sowing in summer and monsoon wet seasons at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The influence of Weather parameters prevailed during critical crop growth stages and whole cropping period on seed yield of soybean was studied. The production potential of soybean crop can be increased when grown in seasons having the maximum temperature of 31.2 OC to 31.6 OC, minimum temperature of 20.4 OC to 20.9OC, cumulative heat unit values of 1274 to 1292 and total bright sunshine hours of 383 to 456 for the whole cropping period.
