 Merr) Seeds in Yola Nigeria&description=The experiment was conducted between January 2007 and June 2008 at the Department of Crop Production and Horticulture, Federal University of Technology, Yola to study the effects of storage materials and environmental conditions on germination of soybean seed in the laboratory. The experiment was replicated three times in factorial design. The treatments were five storage materials (bottle, polythene bag, polythene sack, clay pot, and tin), three varieties of soybean (Samsoy II, TGX1019-2E and TGX1448-2E) and two environmental conditions (room and open air temperatures). Data collected were analyzed statistically using Generalized Linear Model (GLM) procedure of SAS and means that were significantly different were separated using Least Significant Difference (LSD). The result revealed highly significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) among the storage materials on germination. Bottle maintained significantly higher germination with 71 % after 360 days in storage and declined to 66, 57 and 42 % at 420, 480 and 540 days in storage, respectively as compared to the rest of the storage materials. Samsoy II recorded significantly higher germination with 72% at 360 days in storage and declined to 58 and 42 % after 420 and 480 days in storage, compared to TGX1019-2E and TGX1448-2E. Room temperature recorded significantly higher germination percentage with 52 % after 420 days in storage as compared to open air temperature that had 39 %. From this study, it can be concluded there are variation among soybean varieties in storage in respect to germination. Also, bottle and polythene bag showed better result with higher germination percentage during storage.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/923.jpg)
