Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) is a leguminous crop and belongs to family leguminoceae. It is originated in Chaina and it is a major oilseed crop in the world. Soybean is known as the “golden bean”, “miracle crop” etc, because of its several uses. It is an excellent source of protein and oil. In India the area under soybean was 106.94 lakh hectares and production were 126.77 lack metric tonnes. In Maharashtra, soybean occupied an area 38.70 lakh ha area with production 48 lakh metric tonnes. The area under soybean in Beed district is 76.20 thousand hectars with the total production of 119.45 thousand metric tonnes and area under soybean in Ambajogai tahsil is 34.60 thousand hectars with total production of 61.80 thousand metric tonns in 2012-13.Multistage sampling design was adopted in selection of district, tehsil, villages and soybean growers. Soybean growers were stratified into two groups like MAUS-71 (48) and JS-335 (48).It was observed that soybean grower was giving highly important to kharif jowar crop in cropping pattern on both MAUS-71and JS-335 soybean farms. Hired human labour and machine labour were found major item of expenditure in both cases of soybean. Per hectare, net profit was Rs 35548.50 and Rs 25738.44 in MAUS-71 and JS-335 soybean. MAUS-71 was higher profitable that JS-335. Output-input ratio of MAUS-71 was 1.71 while that of JS-335 was 1.52.
