Synopsis In general, blends of soybean varieties showed no superiority in yield over the highest yielding variety in any one year or the average of a 4‐year period. There was a marked variety ✕ season interaction on yield and in this respect blending had a stabilizing effect on yield and appears to be of importance in approaching maximum yields each year. The latest maturing variety in a blend matured earlier than the same variety in pure culture.
