Given the search for answers that improve soybean plant development, this study aimed to analyze the multivariate explanation about the establishment of the initial soybean growth pattern through seed treatment. The study was conducted at Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira Sales Experimental Farm, in the municipality of Mineiros-GO. The soil of the experimental area was classified as NEOSSOLO Quartzarenico. The experimental design was randomized blocks in factorial 10x5 corresponding to 10 soybean genotypes (Flecha, Bonus, TEC7548, M7739, 36B31, W791, M7198, M6210, Power and 48B32) and 5 seed treatments (Water, Sprint-Alga, Booster, Acorda and Stimulate), in 4 repetitions. The obtained data was submitted to the assumptions of the statistical model, verifying the normality and homogeneity of the residual variances, as well as the additivity of the model. Afterwards, the analysis of variance was performed in order to identify the interaction between soybean genotypes x seed treatment, applying uni and multivariate tests. The summary analysis of variance revealed significant interaction between cultivar x seed treatment. The seed treatment influenced the morphological components of soybean seedlings, showing their correlation with the fresh aerial and root mass, as well as different patterns that were observed according to the genetic variation.
