Online published on 2 January, 2017. Abstract Present investigation was carried out at research field of Department of Agril. Botany, Dr. PDKV Akola, during Kharif season 2013 in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The study included four varieties and three sowing dates to study the performance of soybean genotypes under different sowing windows. In research findings, All Morphophysiological and yield traits were differ significantly. Sowing date 21st June recorded better performance of crop over rest of the sowing dates (01st July and 11th July) taken under study. Crop sown at D1 (21st June) recorded highest grain yield (2585 kg ha−1) which was significantly superior over D3 (11th July) sowing (2372 kg ha−1). In respect of varieties TAMS-9821 and JS335 both were recorded significantly higher Plant height, Dry matter production, RGR, RWC, and Leaf area. JS335 produced maximum grain yield (2703 kg ha−1), which was significantlysuperior over rest of the varieties. Lowest grain yield was recorded by V2 (JS-9305-2361 kg ha−1).
