Tow field experiments were conducted at Nineveh Governorate at two locations: Baashiqa/village Omer qapchi and Al-Rashidia during the summer growing season 2019, to study the response of two soybean varieties (Lee74 and Taqa) to sowing depth (3 and 7 cm). The experiments were carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) with three replications. The results were as following: Variety Taqa was significantly superior in field emergence Percentage, leaf area, no. of pods.plant-1, wt. of 1000 seeds, seed yield, and protein percentage for both locations. Sowing depth with 3cm increased significantly the following characters i.e.: field emergence Percentage, leaf area, and no. of pods.plant-1, wt. of 1000 seeds, seed yield, and oil percentage for both locations. - Overlap between Taqa variety and sowing depth (3cm) led to significantly superior in growth, yield, and its components, i.e. field emergence Percentage, leaf area, no. of pods.plant-1, wt. of 1000 seeds, seed yield and oil percentage for both location.
