  • 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).
  • Which region is best suited for soybean cultivation in Pakistan?
  • Based on these trials¡¯ vast areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP, formerly NWFP), Punjab and Sindh were found most suitable for commercial cultivation of soybean. However, at the onset of the current century, soybean cultivation was halted, and it gradually disappeared from cropping schemes of Pakistan.
  • 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.
  • When was soybean introduced in Pakistan?
  • Soybean was introduced in Pakistan as an oilseed crop during the early 1960s, but its cultivation remained limited until 1970s when adaptability and production trials conducted all over the county yielded promising results.
