Global Chemical Seed Treatment Market

Prior to planting a crop the seeds are treated with the application of chemical or biological products which provides resistance against the harmful organisms such as Bacteria, Fungi and Pests. This is called seed treatment and if we use only chemical substances then it is called chemical seed treatment. This type of treatment helps in seed enhancement which increases the productivity of the crop in the near future. Seed treatments can be an environmentally more friendly way of using pesticides as the amounts used can be very small, and the residues left by adopting this method is also very less.

End-user/Technology

The end-users are farmers and Agricultural industries. They utilize seed treatment for a much more targeted activity against pathogens. They decompose quickly and do not leave any harmful residue.

Market Dynamics
