Abstract: The experiment was conducted at S.V Agricultural College, Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh) during rabi 2015-16 to study the effect of time of sowing and verities on the performance of soybean. It was comprised of 16 treatments with four sowing dates (16th September (D1), first October (D2), 16th October (D3) and 1st November (D4 ) and four varieties (Basar, JS-93-05, Bheem and JS-335) replicated thrice. 16th September (D1) sown crop recorded highest seed yield which was comparable to 1st  October (D2). Lowest seed yield was recorded with latest sown crop (1st November). Variety JS-335 (V4), which was on par with Basar (V1) recorded highest soybean yield. Variety JS-93-05 (V2) recorded lower seed yield which was on par with Bheem (V3).
