Global Corn-Maize seed treatment Market

The seed treatment is where the seeds are treated with a chemical, antimicrobial prior to the planting. Due to increasing trends of agronomy, the demand for the development of high-quality seeds through genetically modified organisms gained significance. The pressure from regulatory requirements, climatic changes and increasing rate of crop rotation demanded for seed treatment that includes protection during germination period which supports early plant development and enhances tolerance towards climatic conditions and crop insects at an early stage. By improving the quality of seed treatment products with low rates that offer ease of application gives a competitive advantage for the companies. In short, the simple formula for the secret of success in the future is the concept of innovation in seed treatment. Corn remained dominant crop for seed treatment markets as it accounts 35% of revenues across the world.

End-user/Technology
