Abstract:
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of germination on the minerals constituents (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, copper, iron, manganese and zinc) of soybean. For the assays the soybean cultivars-Glycine max (L) Merril-BR-13 and Paraná were used. These were germinated in camera of germination at 25 degrees C and 100% of moisture, from 0 to 72 hours, collecting the samples in intervals of 6 hours. The analysis of variance and comparison among the means indicated that the minerals constituents remained constant up to 72 hours of germination.
