In response to Pakistan's pressing shortage of edible oil, a research investigation was launched to pinpoint superior soybean varieties with high yields and excellent oil quality for local production. Ten exotic and one local soybean genotype were evaluated in (RCBD) design. The variety NARC-1 was treated with different phosphorus levels: T1 = phosphorus at 00 kg ha-1 (control), T2 = phosphorus at 25 kg ha-1, T3 = phosphorus at 50 kg ha-1, T4 = phosphorus at 75 kg ha-1, and T5 = phosphorus at 100 kg ha-1. Experiment analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows significant differences (P<0.05) for all growth, yield, and oil content characteristics due to treatments. On T5 = phosphorus at 100 kg ha-1, we recorded the maximum plant height (cm) (51.02), the number of pod bearing branches plant-1 (4.9), the number of pods plant-1 (42.5), the pod length (cm) (4.0), the number of seeds pod-1 (2.7), the seed yield (1981.7 kg ha-1), the oil content (19.35%), and the oil yield (382.9 kg ha-1). Similarly, T4 = Phosphorus @ 75 kg ha-1 exhibited a high plant height (cm) of 49.1, a high number of pod-1 bearing branches plant-1 (4.5), a high number of pods plant-1 (40.3), a pod length (cm) of 3.8, a high number of seeds pod-1 (2.6), a seed yield of 1832.4 kg ha-1, an oil content (19.27%), and an oil yield of 354.7 kg ha-1. However, T1 = Phosphorus @ 00 kg ha-1 (control) showed the lowest results in terms of minimum plant height (cm) (43.9), number of pod-bearing branches plant-1 (2.7), number of pods plant-1 (36.1), pod length (cm) (3.1), number of seeds pod-1 (2.1), seed yield (1323.7 kg ha-1), oil content (19.2%), and oil yield (243.1 kg ha-1). It was concluded that the impact of varying phosphorus levels on soybean growth, oil yield, and oil content reveals significant correlations, emphasizing the critical role of phosphorus in optimizing soybean productivity.
