A pot culture laboratory experiment was conducted during 2014-15 at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani using six different soybean cultivars to study the critical soil water potential and seed hydration value for germination of soybean varieties under different soil types. The experiment was laid out on clayey, loamy and sandy soil with six soybean cultivars as treatments and replicated thrice in randomized block design. The six soybean cultivars viz. JS-335, MAUS-71, MAUS-158, MAUS-162, MAUS-504 and MAUS-609 were used at two moisture levels at 50 per cent and 100 per cent field capacity. | Critical soil water potential and seed hydration value for germination of soybean varieties under different soil types
