The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of seeding date on agronomic characters including seed weight of soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merr.) at Suncheon, the southern coastal area of Korea. One hundred eighteen native and improved varieties were used in this study. As the seeding date was delayed, the number of days to flowering for the cultivars was reduced. This trend was more obvious in late maturing cultivars (LMC) than in early and medium maturing cultivars (EMC and MMC). Late seeding also resulted in decrease in the number of leaves, stem length, and number of nodes. The heaviest seed weight was obtained with EMC and MMC planted on May, and seed weight decreased with delayed seeding date. Seed weight was positively correlated with number of days to flowering, number of total leaves at flowering, stem length and number of nodes on main stem at maturity. Based on seed weight the cultivars was classified into five types : Type I; Seed weight of the cultivars decreases with delayed seeding date. Type II; Seed weight of the cultivars does not vary with seeding date. Type III : Seed weight of the cultivars increases with delayed seeding date. Type IV; Seed weight of the cultivars increases when the seeding date approached the appropriate seeding date, but decreases thereafter. Type V; The reversed type IV. Type I, II, III, IV and V occupied 37, 16, 17, 10 and 20 % of the tested cultivars, respectively
