Abstract:
This study aims to examine the yield of 5 national superior soybean
varieties in two different locations and select high yielding varieties to be
developed in West Papua Province. This research was conducted for four
months, which was located in 2 places namely West Manokwari and Sidey
District in West Papua Province. The study used a Randomized Block
Design with the treatment of 6 varieties (5 national varieties and 1 local
variety), which were repeated 4 times so that 24 experimental units per
location were obtained. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of
variance (ANOVA) and if the treatment had a significant effect it was
continued with the DMRT test at a 95% confidence level. The results
showed that the varieties tested were highly significant for plant height,
number of branches, total number of pods, number of empty pods, number
of filled pods, weight of planting seeds, weight of seeds per plot, weight
of corrected seeds, and weight of 100 dried seeds. The yield of 3 varieties
suitable for development in West Papua Province are Rajabasa varieties
1.63 tons/ha, Burangrang 1.8 tons/ha, and Detam-2 2.35 tons/ha.
