The results exhibited that seeds primed with CaCl2@ 1% (T3) and GA3 @ 500ppm (T4) recorded significantly higher germination percentage i.e. 84.67 per cent and 83.33 per cent, respectively over the untreated control T1(76.00%). Treatment T3 recorded higher number of initial plant stand (117 plants), followed by treatment T4 (111 plants) and treatment T5 (111 plants). This may likely contributed for boosting up economic yield in soybean cultivar, JS-335. The seed priming significantly influenced the seed yield and yield contributing characters of soybean. Highest value for seed yield per hectare was recorded by treatment T3CaCl2 @ 1% (20.12 qt/ha) followed by treatment T4- GA3 @ 50 ppm (19.02 qt/ha), T5- KNO3 @1% (18.35 qt/ ha). All other treatments recorded higher yield than untreated control (14.05 qt/ha) showing to the corresponding favourable improvement in number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight (g), seed yield per plot (g), seed yield per Ha (q).

The results exhibited that seeds primed with CaCl2@ 1% (T3) and GA3 @ 500ppm (T4) recorded significantly higher germination percentage i.e. 84.67 per cent and 83.33 per cent, respectively over the untreated control T1(76.00%). Treatment T3 recorded higher number of initial plant stand (117 plants), followed by treatment T4 (111 plants) and treatment T5 (111 plants). This may likely contributed for boosting up economic yield in soybean cultivar, JS-335. The seed priming significantly influenced the seed yield and yield contributing characters of soybean. Highest value for seed yield per hectare was recorded by treatment T3CaCl2 @ 1% (20.12 qt/ha) followed by treatment T4- GA3 @ 50 ppm (19.02 qt/ha), T5- KNO3 @1% (18.35 qt/ ha). All other treatments recorded higher yield than untreated control (14.05 qt/ha) showing to the corresponding favourable improvement in number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight (g), seed yield per plot (g), seed yield per Ha (q).
