The objective was the quantification of the leaf area of soybean, cv. FTS Paragominas RR, submitted to different treatments of seed with the use of the computer program ImageJ, and basic presuppositions of image processing. The experiment was conducted at the Center of Agrarian Sciences and Environmental, Federal University of Maranhão, in Chapadinha (MA), in the period from February to June 2018. The seeds of soybean ’Paragominas RR’ were submitted to the technique of seed treatment, consisting of three fungicides of the active ingredients, thiophanate methyl + fluazinam, fludioxonil and carbendazim + tiram, an insecticide active ingredient fipronil and the control. The leaf area was analyzed in the growth phase, through the use of digital camera and ImageJ®. The use of the routines in the computer program ImageJ® were effective for the determination of leaf area of the soybean submitted to different treatments of the seed. The thiophanate methyl + fluazinam in the dose 200 mL per 100 kg of seeds showed beneficial effects on growth of the cv. FTS Paragominas RR, as estimated by the leaf area.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Scientific Electronic Archives}, author={Passos, M. L. V. and Souza, J. B. C. and Silva, E. A. and Silva, C. A. A.
