In the present investigation, effort has been made to identify most suitable variety of soybean in light, medium and heavy soils under different climatic conditions by conducting experiment in three State Agricultural Universities jurisdiction of Maharashtra (Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani, Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, Rahuri and Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University, Akola) at three locations viz., Parbhani, Amravati and Jalgaon during the year 2007-2008 to 2009-2010 on three different soil types viz., light, medium and heavy soils at each location with eight soybean varieties viz., TAMS 38, TAMS 98-21, MAUS 71, MAUS 47, MAUS 32, DS 228, MACS 450 and JS 335.On an average of three years data (2007-2008 to 2009-2010), the variety TAMS 98-21 ranked first in light and heavy soil, whereas, the variety MAUS 71 ranked first in medium type of soil. On an average of twenty seven trials conducted during three years, in light, medium and heavy soil at the same location across the soil types, the variety MAUS 71 ranked first (1881 kg/ha) followed by TAMS 98-21 (1872 kg/ha). The yield levels of JS 335 (1816 kg/ha) and MACS 450 (1813 kg/ha) was found almost at par.
