Seed Treatment Market to Grow due to Government Initiatives
The agriculture industry is of great importance, and
there is a pressing need for increasing productivity and efficiency in
agricultural fields for catering to the need of the swiftly growing population
across the globe. Governments across the globe are focusing on creating
awareness among farmers, by launching several initiatives, about advanced
technologies, including crop protection materials. These materials aids in
keeping insects and pests away, in turn, enhancing crop yield. In addition to
this, heavy investments are being made in research & development for the
introduction of innovative solutions which can help increase productivity of
fields.
It is due to all these factors that the demand for
seed treatment in the agriculture industry is growing rapidly. Seed treatment
refers to the application of products, biological organisms, and chemical
ingredients to seed for controlling, supressing, or repelling plant insects,
pathogens, and other pests. The utilization of seed treatment technologies is
highly effective and provides the essential protection of seeds for a healthy
and strong start. Seed treatments is selected after the assessment of the farm
land, which ensures that the plant is protected from diseases and insects that
are present in the soil during the early stages of development.

Attributed to all these advantages, the global seed
treatment market is expected to progress at a considerable pace in the
coming years. Crops including pulses, wheat, mustard, and groundnut crops are
susceptible to various soil and seed borne diseases throughout the different
stages of growth. These diseases have a negative effect of germinations and
result in reduction in the yield, further causing loss to farmers. Because of
this, farmers are increasingly making use of seed treatment technologies in
order to protect their crop. Different application methods of seed treatment
are pelleting, dressing, and coating. In the coming years, the demand for
dressing application method is projected to increase significantly.
This is ascribed to the low cost of this method. Under
this process, seeds are either wet-treated with liquid or slurry formulation or
dressed with a dry formulation in an earthen pot. Seeds are then spread on a
polyethylene sheet and chemical is sprinkled on them. Geographically, the
Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is predicted to emerge as a major seed treatment
market in the near future. This is primarily owing to the fact that the
region has several agriculture-based economies, such as China, India, and various
other Southeast Asian Countries. In addition to this, the population in India
and China is growing rapidly, because of which, the requirement for increasing
productivity on agricultural fields is pressing.
In conclusion, the demand for seed treatment technologies is rising all across the globe due to the surging population and growing need for increasing efficiency in the agricultural sector.
