Induced mutation by gamma ray irradiation is one way to increasegenetic variability of plants. This research used gamma ray irradiation on low doses (micro mutation). The aim of this research was toknow the respons of doses level by micro mutation on gamma ray irridation to the growing and development of Argomulyo variety ofsoybean [Glycine max (L) Merr]. The seeds were irradiated by gamma ray micro mutation doses, namely 0 gray, 50 gray, 100 gray, 150gray, and 200 gray. Variations that were obtained of each characters at generation M1 and M2 influences plants growth and developmenteither through qualitative and quantitative that finally will influence plant’s production. The average highest genetic variation at M2generation of soybean was on 200 Gray doses. Results of the research indicated that gamma ray irradiation on 200 Gray doseseffectively caused of plant variation genetic.Key word: induced mutation, micro mutation, gamma ray irradiation, Argomulyo soybean variety.
