The ecotone Cerrado-Pantanal is a vast region which are different soil and climatic characteristics of the major grain producing regions in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, were shut out of the breeding programs of many crops, such as soybeans. With that, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of five soybean, and indicate those best adapted for cultivation in the region Aquidauna-MS. The study was conducted at the experimental area of the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Unit Aquidauna in the agricultural year 2010/2011, in tillage. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Five genotypes were used (RR BMX Magna, Monsoy 7908 RR, RG Nidera 7321, BRS 245 RR 3358 RR and Syngenta), given that the majority of the genotypes had seemingly good performance, showing that the conditions of soil and climate of the region are favorable for soybean cultivation. Being BRS 245 RR showed the highest absolute value of productivity with an approximate average of 3,383.33 kg ha-1, but not statistically different from other genotypes, serving suggestion that would establish a new activity economic in the region of Aquidauna.
