Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to explore the effect of polymer coating and chemical antioxidants on the soybean seed biochemical performance during storage. Soybean seed of JS 335 was treated with four antioxidants at three concentrations of 100 ppm, 300 ppm and 500 ppm and stored in airtight containers. The polymer with chemical antioxidant showed non-significant influence on seed leachates and superoxide dismutase but showed a significant effect on malondialdehyde. Six months after storage, seeds treated with polymer + ascorbic acid @ 300ppm followed by tocopherol showed significantly lowest electrical conductivity and high superoxide dismutase compared to untreated control. Lower MDA was recorded in the seeds treated with tocopherol @ 100 ppm + polymer as compared to the untreated control. Soybean seed coated with tocopherol and ascorbic acid, with or without polymer recorded less increase in MDA compared to untreated control.
