Seven soybean varities viz PK 1042, PK 564, PK 459, PK 416, SL 317, SL 295 and bragg were compared for their storability under ambient conditions and accelerated ageing conditions. out of these varieties Bragg lost its germinability below 70 per cent more rapidly i.e. after 2 months and adjudged to be the poor storer. While varieties SL 295, PK 1042, PK459 and SL 317 showed 11-13 months of storability and were named as good storers and PK 564 was found to be intermediate storer showing 7 months of storability. However, the storage behaviour under ambient conditions of some varieties did not agree with their response to accelerated ageing. Varieties PK 1042 and PK 459 showed maximum capacity to withstand accelerated ageing of 14 days, PK 416, SL 317 and SL 295 endured 7 days of accelerated ageing. Whereas PK 564 and Bragg could not withstand accelerated ageing of even 7 days. Dry weight changes observed at different intervals of ambient storage were also recorded.
