Abstract :

Soybean development Reproductive stage werepredicted by climatic parameters as daylength and temperature . Therefore ,fifteen soybean lines and cultivars as name as Williams, Zane, M4, M12, S.R.F, Miandoab,A3935, A3237, L17, Union, Grangelb, Clark, Tns95,Elf, Calland were studied in four planting dates. Soybean genotipes were usedin a RCBD in each planting dates . Daylength and temperature effect wereevaluated by planting dates levels. Flowering occurance and developmentReproductive stage duration were fitted growth degree days, photoperiod andphotothermal units in a Multiple Regression Method. The results indicated thatphotoperiod had significant effect on Maturity in all of lines and cultivars.But photothermal had positive significant effect in Williams. Therefore Itcaused to delay in Maturity if It was increased. Photothermal was calculatedfrom growth degree days by photoperiod in each days. But the photoperiod wasmore effective than gdd in time of Maturity. Growth degree days affected ontime of Maturity by photothermal and caused to promote it. Reproductivedevelopment duration of Elf was affected by gdd
