The objective of this work was to verify the effect of the use of inoculant, fungicide, and micronutrients on yield, and on the chemical composition of soybean grains. In the 2005/2006 crop, a study with different seed treatments and leaf applications of micronutrients was done. Agronomic characteristics and yield were evaluated, as well as, oil, protein, and nutritional contents of soybean leaves and grains. Plant height was influenced significantly by the applied treatments, with the smallest average of plant height being observed in control ( 89.75 cm). Stem diameter, number of beans per plant, and bio mass of 100 seeds were not influenced by treatments. Under the conditions in which the experiments were carried out, in soil with good fertility, the adopted treatments did not significantly influence yield, nor protein and oil content of grains, nor chemical composition of soybean leaves and grains.
