The seeds of soybean were treated with nine different doses of Gamma rays and six different doses of EMS to study the mutagenic sensitivity of physical and chemical mutagen. The treated seeds along with control were sown to raise M1 generation. Germination percentage was recorded in laboratory as well as in the field condition the higher doses showed drastic reduction in germination, and survival percentage. The Probit analysis showed that the LD50 value of Gamma rays based on laboratory and field germination was 335.68 Gy and 283.40 Gy respectively while for EMS it was 0.28% and 0.23% respectively.
