Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the chemical composition of the macronutrients- nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S), and micronutrients- boron (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn), and the elements aluminum (Al) and sodium (Na) measured in soybean seeds from different producing regions of Brazil. This work was carried out by sampling 2543 lots of soybean seeds produced in the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 growing seasons. There is high variability of macro and micronutrients concentration in soybean seeds produced in several regions of Brazil. The nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium are the most pronounced macronutrients in soybean seeds. Among the micronutrients, iron, manganese and zinc are those with more evidence. Understanding macro and micronutrients variability is critical for improving management and fertility treats in soybean seed production fields.
