Abstract: A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effect of fungicides on seed vigour and viability of soybean. The experiment was laid out in completely randomised block design with six treatments that included different fungicide solutions at different concentrations and was replicated four times. The results revealed that, among the various seed treatments, the seeds treated with sprint (Mancozeb 50% + Carbendazim 25% WS) @ 3 g kg-1 recorded significantly highest seed quality parameters viz., seed germination, total seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index, seed infection and lower electrical conductivity compared to all other treatments and the lowest was recorded in the absolute control. Hence soybean seeds treated with Sprint (Mancozeb 50% + Carbendazim 25% W S) @ 3 g kg-1 of seeds enhanced seed quality parameters during storage.
