SOYABEAN CULTIVATION

An attempt has been made to characterize the soybean growing regions  of  India,  at  the  district  level  on  the  basis  of productivity,  rainfall, soil type and concentration.  The  study has  helped  to  devise 12 typologies based  on  the  above  four parameters  and  also  provides  an  insight  into  the   spatial distribution and variability of soybean yield, identification  of priority areas where extension and research should be focused for vertical (yield) as well as horizontal expansion (area).

During the Green Revolution, the major thrust was placed  on increasing productivity of food grains; the oilseeds and  pulses,  the main source of protein in a vegetarian diet remained  outside the  main stream of development. In view of this fact Bhalla  and Singh (1997) pointed out that Indian agriculture during the  last decade  marked  a distinct change in cropping pattern  away  from coarse  cereals  toward  oilseeds. This  shift  was  particularly strong in the central region lending the country a status of  the third  largest producer of oilseed in the world.  But  ironically
enough, the per capita consumption per annum of 8 kg is just  one third of the world average.
