Introduction. Seed quality is a key component to maintain crop yield in soybean; however, it can be affected by moisture, temperature, and packaging management during seed storage. Objective. To evaluate the effect of temperature, seed moisture content and packaging factors on the longevity and physiological quality of soybean seeds variety CIGRAS-06. Materials and methods. This work was carried out at the Center for Research in Seeds and Grains (CIGRAS) of the University of Costa Rica during the year 2022 and 2023. Seeds of the CIGRAS-06 variety were used. The seeds were conditioned and dried at 6 % and 12 % moisture (for 12 months), and they were stored at cold (6 °C) and room temperature (23 °C) conditions, in three types of packaging (polyethylene bag, polypropylene bag and vacuum bag). Germination and seed vigor tests were conducted. Lots of seeds coming from the locations of Guanacaste and Perez Zeledon were used. Results. An interaction was observed among the studied factors, with storage temperature and site of origin being the most significant. Seeds stored at 23 °C and from Perez Zeledon showed greater deterioration, whereas cold storage (6 °C) and lower moisture content (6%) reduced germination loss, particularly in the Guanacaste seed lot. Environmental conditions at 23 °C accelerated seed deterioration and decreased their vigor, as quantified by electrical conductivity. Conclusions. Storage of the CIGRAS-06 soybean variety is favored in conditions of 6 °C temperature and a seed moisture content of 6. Additionally, the origin of the seed must be considered, as it also influences the response observed in the different treatments.
