Effect of seed coating on the yield of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr.

Enhanced seeds, e.g. dressed, encrusted or pelleted are often sown in agricultural practice. These treatments play a different role depending on the type and chemical composition of preparation. The aim experiment was to compare effectiveness three coatings (B – chitosan, C chitosan + alginate/jojoba oil/E D alginate/PEG) applied soybean seeds comparison control (A). study carried out cultivars: Annushka, Mavka Smuglyanka. did not differentiate seed yield 2018 due favourable weather conditions. use coating following years increased by 0.46 t/ha 2019 0.51 2020 compared control. obtained results allow concluding that most effective cultivation. field emergence capacity, plant density as well SPAD (soil analysis development) LAI (leaf area index) indices were significantly result this application. gs index (stomatal leaf conductance) reduced. cv. Smuglyanka yields higher cvs. 0.32 0.85 t/ha, respectively. difference between 0.81 t/ha.
