Abstract

Metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazine-5(4H)one] (0, 0.56, 1.12, 1.68 kg/ha) applied the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivars ‘Bragg,’ ‘Hampton,’ ‘Bienville,’ ‘Coker 318,’ ‘Coker 102,’ and ‘Hardee’ induced significant changes in total fatty acid concentration of soybean oil. Minor changes in soybean oil quality were induced by metribuzin but percent protein was not influenced.
