  • 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.
  • Why is soybean important in Pakistan?
  • Soybean cultivation in Pakistan was primarily aimed at enhancing the production of edible oil, but it has a little share in domestic production as compared to other oilseed crops including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and rapeseed (Brassica napus).
  • Why is soybean not accepted in Pakistan?
  • Soybean is considered as a minor crop like other oilseed crops which is another factor of less acceptability among Pakistani farmers (Rehman et al. 2014). This could be attributed to the socio-economic conditions of the farmers, lack of education, and extension services.
