Abstract
Path analysis, Genetic variability and Correlation studies for Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) for grain yield and Secondary traits at Asosa, Western Ethiopia
Highlights
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) the ‘golden bean’, as it is an important crop in the words in terms of its uses in human food and animal feeds
According to central statics authority (CSA) 2016/17 in Ethiopia, 12,574,107.33 hectares is covered by the grain production among this about 804,752hectares are oil seeds. which is 6.40%
Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation and range revealed large variability for seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant, biological yield per plant and number of nodules per plant over environments suggested that direct selection exercised for these traits can improve the seed yield
Summary
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) the ‘golden bean’, as it is an important crop in the words in terms of its uses in human food and animal feeds. It belongs to the family leguminosae and is self-pollinated crop having chromosome number of (2n=2x=40). It considered to be a miracle crop as it is extraordinary rich in proteins (~40) and is second only to ground nut in terms of oil content (~20). Ethiopia is experiencing the rise in the soybean production due to its widespread use in food and feed industry
