Abstract :In this study, 150 seeds from each of three soybean varieties (30 seeds for each application) have been passed through 3,8-4,8 mT magnetic flux density of the magnetic field 0, 1 , 3 , 9 and 15 times at a magnetic height of 0,055 m in order to determine the most suitable magnetic field strength for Defiance, General and Iraquous soybean varieties. Three different soybean seed varieties passed through magnetic field were germinated in petri dishes at 25°C on moist filter papers. The root lengths and germination percentages of the varieties were measured by making observations at the end of 24 th , 48 th , 72 nd and 96 th hours to determine the most suitable magnetic field strength. As a result, an increase was detected in the germination percentage and root length of D 1 (Defiance; 1 times pass through magnetic field)and D 9 (Defiance;9 times pass through magnetic field ) applications of the Defiance at the end of the 72 nd and 96 th hours compared to the control (D 0 ,G 0 ,I 0 ) , and also an increase was observed in the G 1 (General; 1 times pass through magnetic field) and G 9 (General; 9 times pass through magnetic field) applications of the General; whereas an increase was observed only in the germination percentage in the I 3 (Iraquous; 3 times pass through magnetic field) and I 9 (Iraquous; 9 times pass through magnetic field) applications of Iraquous. No increase was detected for the root length in the I 3 at the end of the 96 th hours.Keywords : Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, magnetic field, germination
