In order to evaluate the effect of crop rotation and seed inoculation on soybean yield, yield elements and seed quality, an experiment was conducted in Amati village, Satu Mare County, in 2020, using three early soybean varieties (Onix, Felix, Cristina TD). Crop rotation (two graduations) and seed treatment (three graduations) factors were studied. The experiment was based on a split plot design. Yield, yield elements (plant size, insertion of the first pod, number of pods/plant, number of grains/plant, weight of grains/plant, size of grains and seed quality (protein and fat) were determined, highlighting the influence of genotype and of seed treatment on studied parameters. In terms of crop rotation, generally no influence was identified. Cristina TD was a high yielding genotype with 5361 kg/ha obtained in the experimental variant when soybean was included in rotation and Nitragin product was applied.
