This study was conducted to determine the effects of different pre-treatments on the germination power and mean germination time of soybean. The experiment was carried out in 2025 at the Ege University Seed Technology Application and Research Center (TOTEM) laboratories. In the study, GA₃ (500 mg L⁻¹), KNO₃ (2 g L⁻¹), PEG 6000 (300 g/L⁻¹), and combinations of these substances (PEG 6000 + KNO₃, PEG 6000 + GA₃) were applied to the seeds as pre-treatments. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design. As a result of the germination tests conducted under laboratory conditions, the highest germination power was obtained with the PEG 6000 + GA₃ application at 93.00%. The shortest mean germination time was determined to be 2.58 days in the PEG 6000 + GA₃ application. In conclusion, it was observed that the application of osmopriming (PEG 6000) in combination with hormones and inorganic salts had a positive effect on germination and emergence on soybean seeds.
