Abstract
A study of 76 morphological, agronomic, and biological characteristics of 270 forage soybean accessions from the Vavilov Research Institute of Plant Industry (VIR) collection revealed seven traits (type of plant apex, degree of shoot twining, number of plant leaves and nodes, leaf weight and size, width of seed hilum) allowing classification of a variety according to purposeful use: hay, silage, or green fodder. It is noted that the number of plant leaves is an indicator trait for indirect assessment of green mass yield of the accessions.
