A field experiment was carried out during kharif season of 2011-2012 at experimental field of Seed Technology Research Unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola (MS) to study the effect of seed coating treatments viz. polymer coating @ 3ml/kg of seed, flowable thiram @ 2.4/kg seed, polymer + flowable thiram, vitavax 200*@ 2g/kg, polymer + vitavax 200*@ 2wg/kg of seed and Control stored in two packaging materials i. e. Gunny bag and HDPE bag upto 8 month with or without combination at ambient condition on field performance of soybean The results revealed that the polymer @ 3 ml/kg + vitavax 200* 2g/kg of seed stored in HDPE bag were higher initial plant stand (284.33), early flowering (43 days) and more plant height (57.60 cm) which matured early (69.33 days). However, the maximum no. of pods per plant (58.50), no. of seeds per plant (8.53 g), hundred seed weight (10.60g), yield per plant (20.39 g), were found due to application of polymer @3 ml/kg + vitavax @ 2 g/kg seed treatment. Hence polymer @3 ml + vitavax 200* @ 2 g/kg of seed treatment stored in HDPE bag was most beneficial for enhancing the yield and yield attributes of soybean.
