  • Is soybean a new crop in Pakistan?
  • Soybean is a new addition to the conventional cropping system of Pakistan; hence its cultivation has been unparalleled since its inception in the 1960s. As is evident from the data shown in Fig. 1 and 2, maximum cultivation and accompanying yields are reported on the onset of the current century followed by gradual decline afterward.
  • How many varieties of soybeans are there in Pakistan?
  • At the time of soybean introduction in Pakistan, three varieties; ¡®S.B.L.¡¯ (yellow seed), ¡®K-16¡¯, and ¡®K-30¡¯ (black seed) were selected for commercial cultivation in Sindh, the southern province of Pakistan.
  • What are the challenges for soybean cultivation in Pakistan?
  • Along with other several challenges for soybean cultivation in Pakistan, the non-existence of improved production technology is of great concern. Production technology of soybean is as old as are the varieties i.e., >20 years old.
  • What are the major bottlenecks for soybean cultivation in Pakistan?
  • Moreover, the absence of area-specific production technology, non-existence of extension service, and lack of coherent policy to promote local oilseed production are the major bottlenecks for the cultivation of soybean in Pakistan.
