Abstract:
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is known as ‘golden bean’ and grown in India for dual purpose that is oil seed as well as pulse crop. About 120 soybean growers were selected from two districts (Nanded and Parbhani) in Marathwada region of Maharashtra for study. In analytical techniques, frequency and percentage method was used. The result revealed that the major constraints faced by the farmers in production and marketing of soybean were severe problem was severe drought condition or long dry spell during crop season, high cost of fertilizers and plant protection, Unauthorized deduction in marketing process. Provision of maximum subsidy for drip and sprinkler irrigation by the government to cover the maximum area under irrigation, minimize the rates of chemical fertilizers, plant protection and other essential inputs by the government, restriction on the process of unauthorized deduction at local level, these suggestions opined by soybean growers.
