Soybean cultivars [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] for summer culture in Lavras MG region

The purpose of this study was to evaluate soybean materials [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] for grain yield and other agronomic traits in two agricultural years during the summer in the years of (2003/04 and 2004/05) trying to provide subsidies for the right choice of the cultivars for Lavras-MG region. The experiment was evaluated in a complet block design with three replications in a factorial structure 2 x 40; 2 agricultural years (2003/04 and 2004/05) and 40 soybeans cultivars. Lavras-MG region is good for soybean culture development, because the cultivars showed desirable agronomical characteristics during the two year-experiment, the average yield was 2870 kg.ha-1. The best cultivars for general standard during the two years were Vencedora (4515 kg.ha-1), Conquista (4209 kg.ha-1) and Monarca (4121 kg.ha-1) that also showed good conditions for the mechanical harvest.
