Recent searches stress that soybean yield might be doubled in Brazilian conditions, so that base fertilization is pivotal, once it might interfere over the chemical and microbiological soil indicators and hence, over the crop grain yield. It was aimed to assess alterations in the chemical and microbiological soil indicators, in the short term, and the soybean biometric and grain yield performance as a function of different fertilizers for base fertilization, in two sowing dates. An experiment comprised of two sowing dates was carried out in 2019/2020 season on a dystroferic Red Latossol, in north Parana state. It were assessed five treatments comprising: 1) control; 2) mineral fertilizer; 3) organomineral fertilizer; 4) mineral fertilizer mixed to granulated gypsum; and 5) slow release mineral fertilizer. Randomized block design with four replicates was the design adopted. It were assessed chemical and microbiological soil indicators; final stand; first pod insertion height; plant height; stem diameter; number of pods per plant; number of grains per plant; number of grains per pod; grain mass per plant; one thousand grain mass and grain yield. There is no base fertilization effect over the chemical soil indicators in the short term, however, there is effect over the microbiological soil indicators. Biometric and grain yield performance are decreased as sowing date is delayed, regardless of the base fertilization employed.
