Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is one of the most important crops in the world, notable for its high nutritional value and strategic role in the agricultural economy. The use of seed coatings has emerged as an innovative technology to protect and enhance the physiological performance of seeds. This practice contributes to uniform germination, seedling vigor, and greater efficiency in crop establishment. In this study, the effect of formulated coatings on soybean germination, vigor, and early development was evaluated. The research aimed to explore viable alternatives to conventional nutrient supply, contributing to more efficient and environmentally responsible agricultural practices.
