Global Fungicidal 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. If fungicides are used then it is called fungicidal 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 environmental 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

The major factors driving the global seed treatment market are the upsurge in the cost of high-quality seeds. Seed treatment provides a cost effective alternative for this and by doing this the productivity of the crop increases as well. Government regulations & campaigns which create awareness and promote seed treatment also drive the market. Seed companies are investing in R&D to develop target specific products which will contribute to the market in the long run. The newest innovations in the market which are specific to some crops make the market more segmented and the opportunities it provides are high in the future. Some of the examples of specific fungicides are

? DuPont received registration endorsement from the Environmental Protection Agency for fungicide seed treatment. Lumisena fungicide seed treatment increases crop productivity by controlling Phytophthora and downy mildew in soybeans & sunflower crops respectively.

? Syngenta announced PLENARIS, a seed treatment fungicide for regulation of downy mildew in sunflower. Downy mildew is the seedling disease of sunflower causing severe stunting, discoloration and reduction in root growth. Infected seedlings severely reduce yield.
