Influence of chemical seed priming was investigated to improve emergence, seed yield and quality of soybean. GA3 primed seeds took minimum (6.00) days to 50 percent emergence and field emergence was significantly higher 93 % in plots sown with higher quality seed primed with CaCl2.2H2O (0.5%),  which was on par with higher quality GA3 (20 ppm)(92.00%) primed seeds. Significantly higher seed yield per hectare was observed in plots sown with higher quality seeds primed with CaCl2.2H2O (0.5%)  (23.67 q) which was on par with plots sown with higher quality GA3 (20 ppm) (22.89 q) primed seeds, followed by KH2PO4 (50 ppm) (22.38) primed seeds.  Seed yield per ha showed significantly higher positive correlation with number of pods per plant (0.909**), number of seeds per pod (0.933**) and yield per plant (0.921**). Resultant seeds showed significant improvement in quality when compared to the quality test results of the treated seeds before sowing.  The paired t-test showed a significant variation with germination (83.28 and 97.47 %), root length (15.34 and 18.61cm), shoot length (11.22 and 15.11 cm), seedling dry weight (96.48 and 109.88 mg), vigour index (1153 and 3288), and electrical conductivity (0.703 and 0.322 dSm-1) rerecorded in the original seed and the resultant seeds, respectively. Old and fresh seeds of soybean may be treated with CaCl2.2H2O, GA3 and KH2PO4 for faster emergence, uniformity and synchrony in flowering and maturity and hence better seed yield and quality can be obtained.
