The effect of different seed dressing fungicides viz. Baytan, Benlate, Captan, Dithane M-45, Orthocide, Vitavax, and Topsin on germination and yield components was determined in soybean variety Epps. The treated seeds showed higher germination and yield than the non-treated seeds. Germination increased by 78.51-56.94% as against 48.8% in untreated control. Similarly, yield components were also increased variously by different seed dressing fungicides. Seed treatment with Benlate proved to be the best as it gave maximum germination and increase in yield components.
