Abstract:	Field experiments to determine the effects of various infection levels and time of infection with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) on G. max (L.) Merrill, yield and plant emergence from seed produced on infected plants were conducted (1981-1982). Yield decreased as BPMV infection levels increased in 'Bragg' soybean. There was a numerical reduction in yield as BPMV infection levels increased with 'Lee 74', but the differences were not statistically significant. The younger the soybean plant at time of BPMV infection, the greater the reduction in pods and yield for 'Lee 74'. There was a numerical, but not statistically, significant reduction in yield for the 'Bragg' infected at earlier growth stages. The maximum yield reduction attained due to BPMV infection was 52.4% for 'Bragg' and 35.8% for 'Lee 74'. Germination of plants from seed of BPMV-infected plants was not affected.
