Abstract. This article analyzes the findings of international and local researchers regarding the effects of macro- and micronutrients on the growth, development, and productivity of soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivated as a secondary crop. Soybean is an important leguminous crop characterized by its high protein and oil content, and its productivity largely depends on the level of mineral nutrition. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium play a crucial role in the formation of vegetative and reproductive organs, while micronutrients such as boron, molybdenum, and zinc are essential for enhancing biological nitrogen fixation, photosynthesis, and reproductive processes. The analysis of scientific literature indicates that the integrated application of macro- and micronutrients can significantly increase soybean yield and improve grain quality characteristics.
