Variability and estimation of genetic parameters of agronomic characters of soybean genotypes (glycine max l. (merril)) fakhrurrazi 1), m. nasir 2), cut nur lchsan 2) 1) mahasiswa agroteknologi, fakultas pertanian unsyiah 2) dosen agroteknologi, fakultas pertanian unsyiah abstract the purpose of this research is to find information about the average growth performancr and yield of soybean and soybean to get the oldest candidate which has the best growth and yield performance. this research was conducted at the experimental farm of agriculture faculty unsyiah which began in april 2013 to september 2013. this research used a randomized block design with 6 patterns of non-factorial treatment that g1- wilis genotype, g2- kaba genotype, g3- sinabung genotype, g4- agromulyo genotype, g5- burangrang genotype and g6- anjasmoro genotype with 3 replications in order to obtain 18 units of unit experiment. the parameters measured were the growth of plant height, number of leaves, leaf
