Conteúdo: 	In 1972 the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) was established as an International Agricultural Research Center (IARC) with the objective of improving the agronomic potential and nutritive value of legumes and vegetables in the tropics. Recognizing the importance of soybean as a protein and energy source and since no other IARC was working on soybeans for the tropics at that time, soybean was included as a major crop for research in 1973. In the east soybean is a major grain legume crop in China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand while Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Paraguay, U.S.A., and Uruguay are the major soybean producers in the west. Recently, India and Sri Lanka have been increasing their soybean production. The average yield of soybean in the tropics is around 1t/ha compared to nearly 2t/ha in the temperature countries. The low average yield of soybean in the tropics is due to lack of improved cultivars for specific purposes, sensitivity to short photoperiods and high temperature, susceptibility to diseases and insects, lack of good quality seeds, unavailability of effective Rhizobium inoculum, and nonadoption of appropriate management practices.
