The National Commission on Agriculture assessed in 1976 that an area of about 6.0 million hectare was waterlogged in the country. A screening technique known as ‗cup method‘ was standardized and used for screening of soybean genotypes for tolerance to water logging conditions. Observation shows percent increase in plant height and per cent reduction in dry weight were taken as control for screening genotypes with comparatively better performances. Based on these values, few genotypes viz., showed relatively better tolerance among the genotypes under study, which can be used in breeding programme for the development of water logging tolerant varieties. Fifty soybean genotypes including popular varieties, germplasm lines and breeding lines were screened with this method for the assessment of their response to artificially created water logging conditions.
