Tocopherol content as affected by different sowing dates and its correlation with other quality traits in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]

To study the effect of different temperature and photoperiod regimes on tocopherol content, seventeen photo and thermo tolerant soybean genotypes were planted under three planting dates viz., March 1(D1), June 5 (D2) and August 7 (D3). Analysis of variance revealed significant differences for genotypes, environments and genotype x environment interaction for tocopherol content.
