Abstract
Soybean is a major oilseed crop in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is unable to fulfill the demand for
soybeans. This experiment was carried out at Sher-E-Bangla Agricultural University to
determine the genetic divergence among genotypes established by a Bangladeshi research
center and to determine distinct genotypes with their performance for future use.
Morphological divergence study among the twenty genotypes of soybean based on nine yield
and yield contributing characters through the D2
statistic indicated the presence of substantial
diversity by forming clusters with a wide range of inter-cluster distances. The soybean
genotypes under investigation were divided into five clusters. Cluster I had the most
genotypes, with 10, followed by clusters III and V, each with five and three genotypes. The
relative divergence indicates how much each cluster varies from the others. Cluster I and
Cluster III have the most significant order of divergence, followed by Cluster III and Cluster
IV. The results revealed that the parents in these clusters are genetically heterogeneous. It's
possible that a hybridization program obtained a significant heterotic response. Clusters I and
II found the minimum inter-cluster distances, indicating limited genetic diversity. Cluster III
had the maximum seed yield per plant cluster value. Individual performance was highest for
the genotypes BINAsoybean-3, BINAsoybean-2, and Shohag for the trait seed yield per plant.
