Abstract:
In rainy season, seed yield (kg/plot) had highly significant and positive correlation with dry matter (30 DAS), absolute growth rate (AGR) and relative growth rate (RGR) (30 DAS). However, it had positive significant correlation with relative growth rate (RGR) (60 DAS) and net assimilation rate (NAR) (30 DAS), Seed yield (kg/plot) had highly significant and negative correlation with days to 50% flowering and days to maturity along with harvest index. However, seed yield possessed positive and highly significant correlation with number of pods per plant and biological yield. However, considering direct and indirect effects under variable seasons, the morpho-physiological traits viz; dry matter (g), absolute growth rate, relative growth rate and net assimilation rate while seed yield and its components viz; days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of pods per plant and oil content may be considered for improvement of soybean.
