This article presents a comparative analysis of the seed germination of various soybean varieties in laboratory and field conditions. The main objective of the study was to determine the correspondence and differences between the results of germination of soybean varieties in laboratory conditions and actual germination rates in the field. During the experiments, seed germination was observed under optimal conditions controlled in the laboratory and under natural field conditions. The results showed that some varieties that showed high germination in laboratory conditions may have significantly lower germination in field conditions. These differences are due to the influence of soil temperature, moisture and other environmental factors. Based on the data obtained, it was emphasized that it is necessary to use germination rates determined in the laboratory with caution when making recommendations for soybean cultivation.
