Seed deterioration is a natural process over time; however, it can be mitigated by appropriate storage conditions that help preserve seed physiological characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate the vigor of soybean seeds from different cultivars stored under refrigeration for a period of five years. Seeds were produced by the company Uniggel® on properties located in the Lagoa da Confusão region, in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. Samples from seven cultivars were provided: 84I86RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), 8579RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), 81I81RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), GH 8383 RR (Golden Harvest®), 80I82RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), DM80I79RSF IPRO (Donmario®), and M 8644 IPRO (Monsoy®), and sent to the Plant Morphology Laboratory at Fundação Educacional de Andradina (FEA), in the Municipality of Andradina, state of São Paulo. The samples were placed in labeled paper boxes and stored in an Eletrolux® refrigerator for a period of five years at a constant temperature of 5 °C. Among the cultivars evaluated, 84I86RSF IPRO showed the lowest seed quality, whereas M 8644 IPRO exhibited the best performance. Long-term storage resulted in greater leaching of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Electrical conductivity was correlated with the vigor of soybean seeds after long-term refrigerated storage.

El deterioro de las semillas es un proceso natural que ocurre con el tiempo. Sin embargo, puede mitigarse ajustando las condiciones de almacenamiento de forma que permitan conservar las características de las semillas. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el vigor de semillas de soja almacenadas en refrigeración durante un período de tiempo prolongado. Las semillas fueron producidas por la empresa Uniggel® en propiedades ubicadas en la región de Lagoa da Confusão en el Estado de Tocantins, Brasil. Se proporcionaron muestras de semillas de soja de siete cultivares: 84I86RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), 8579RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), 81I81RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), GH 8383 RR (Cosecha dorada®), 80I82RSF IPRO (Brasmax®), DM80I79RSF IPRO (Donmario®) y M 8644 IPRO (Monsoy®). Las muestras fueron enviadas al Laboratorio de Morfología Vegetal de la Fundación Educacional Andradina (FEA) ubicada en el municipio de Andradina, Estado de São Paulo. Allí, fueron embaladas en cajas de papel etiquetadas y almacenadas en un refrigerador Eletrolux® a una temperatura constante de 5 °C durante un período de cinco años. Entre las variedades evaluadas, las semillas del cultivar 84I86RSF IPRO tuvieron la menor calidad, mientras que el cultivar M 8644 IPRO presentó los mejores resultados. El almacenamiento a largo plazo permitió una mayor extrusión de calcio, magnesio y potasio. La conductividad eléctrica se correlacionó con el vigor de las semillas de soja después de ser almacenadas en refrigeración por un periodo de tiempo prolongado.
