The lines were, AGS-58, 66, 129, 160, 162, 200, 209, 215, 222, 227, G 2261 and AVRDC local check 30293-6-10. The seeds inoculated with Rhizobium japonicum were sown on December 12, 1987. The crop received 20-60-30 kg NPK/ha. The maturing period ranged from 108-136 days. The exotic lines responded markedly to Bangladesh environment. The line G 2261 produced significantly higher yield of 2580 kg/ha followed by AVRDC local check 30293-6-10 (2420 kg/ha). AGS-209 and 215 gave yields of 2130 and 2120 kg/ha respectively which were at par with recommended variety Davis and Indian variety Pb-1-1 (2030 and 2150 kg/ha). The yield range ofother exotic lines were from 1070 to 1930 kg/ha. a positive correlation  was observed between duration and yield in most of the lines. AGS-209 produced the tallest plants (84.6 cm) and the shortest plant height was observed in AGS-222 (60.2 cm). The highest number of fertile pods per plant were noted in AGS-66 (48.7) and lowest in AGS-200.  aBangladesh  aseed inoculation  aInoculação  aSemente  aSoja  aSoybean1 aRAHMAN, M.
