In soybean crops, industrial seed treatment is widely adopted, and it has allowed the development of new

technologies, such as the use of dry powders. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of the industrial treatment, with and

without the additional application of dry powder, on the physiological potential of soybean seeds. The experimental design was

completely randomized, in a 4×2 factorial scheme, with four replications. Four chemical treatments were evaluated: 1) control,

2) carbendazim + thiram + thiamethoxam, 3) carbendazim + thiram, 4) thiamethoxam. Each trial was divided into one group

that was treated and the other that remained untreated with the dry powder. The cultivars BRS 360 RR and BRS 284 were used

and analyzed separately. The physiological potential of the seeds was determined by the following assessments: germination,

first germination count, seedling emergence in sand, seedling total length, shoot length, and root length. Soybean cultivars

respond differently to seed chemical treatments, regarding the effects on physiological potential. Using the dry powder results

in problems in seed germination speed in the cultivar BRS 284. In the cultivar BRS 360 RR, the use of dry powder associated

with thiamethoxam treatment reduces the physiological potential of the seeds.
