This book comprehensively discusses the pest resistance characteristics of soybean. Legumes are an essential part of a healthy diet for a major part of the world’s population. They are an excellent source of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals. Soybeans are of great significance in the overall agriculture and trade as well as in their contribution to food supply. They are highly rich in protein content and have no cholesterol in comparison with animal food sources and conventional legume. Additionally, soybean is a cheap source of food as well as medicinal value because of its photochemical, genistein, isoflavones content. Studies have reflected that soybean is extremely helpful in fighting numerous medical conditions including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Presently, soybean protein and calories are being employed for the prevention of body wasting mostly linked with HIV. Soybean’s nutritional value is of extreme importance in places where medication facilities are not readily available. It holds great economical potential for extensive use in industrial purposes. This quality of soybean can be hugely beneficial for small-scale soybean producers.
