Seed treatment protects the seed against insects, diseases, and other pests effectively. Furthermore, seed treatment aids in the formation of healthy and high-quality seeds. It has been shown to be a more cost-effective alternative than traditional spraying because it is less labor-intensive and increases overall production.
Seed Treatment Market entails the
application of chemical or organic compounds to improve the grain's quality and
provide protection. In the seed treatment procedure, environmentally friendly
insecticides and fungicides that prevent infections and rodents from destroying
the crop are extensively utilized. These insecticides and fungicides are
applied in various quantities depending on the crop or soil requirements.
Seed
Treatment Market is critical for
protecting seeds and seedlings from seed and soil-borne illnesses, as well as
insect pests that can wreak havoc on crop emergence and growth. During the
projection period, the market will be driven by advancements in seed treatment
technology, rising government backing, and farmers' increasing desire for
high-quality seeds. Due to a rise in regulatory difficulties connected to
fumigation and foliar pesticide application, farmers are increasingly considering
Seed Treatment Market as
a way to protect their investments in high-quality seeds. As a result, the
growing knowledge among farmers is feeling the global market of seed treatment
chemicals.
In 2018, the insecticide segment dominated the Seed Treatment Market,
and this trend is projected to continue during the forecast period. Seed
treatment refers to the use of biological, physical, and chemical treatments to
promote the health of crops before they are planted. It aids in the management
of infections and diseases spread by soil and seed. It also increases crop
production, lowers germination time, and improves overall output.
Neonicotinoids are currently the most widely used seed treatment insecticides
on the market. Because aphids act as carriers of viral infections, the most
common neonicotinoid used to control them is imidacloprid. It also kills chinch
bugs, flea beetles, Hessian flies, leafhoppers, and other pests. When compared
to traditional spraying, seed treatment has emerged as a cost-effective crop
protection method.
