Abstract
Soybean is a strictly self-pollinated crop and crossing between two va-rieties is rather difficult due to small size of flowers and low pod setting (Ram et al., 1981). The crossed pods usually have reduced size and, hence, have fewer seeds/pod. The seeds obtained from the crossed pods may include some seeds that might be due to selfing while crossing.
