Technology Landscape, Trends and Opportunities in the Global Seed Treatment Market

Technology Landscape, Trends and Opportunities in the Global Seed Treatment Market

The technologies in seed treatment have undergone significant changes in recent years, with fungicide treatment to biological seed treatment. The rising wave of new technologies, such as seed pelleting are creating significant potential for seed treatment in various agrochemical platforms due to the enhancement in seed germination, protection of germinating seeds and seedlings against soil and seed-borne pathogens/insects.

In the seed treatment market, various technologies, such as seed coating, seed dressing, and seed pelleting technologies are used in the insecticides, fungicide, and bio-control applications. Increased demand in the agriculture sector and rising R&D initiatives to improve yield are creating new opportunities for various seed treatment technologies.

• Germany: BASF, a major agricultural chemicals company, launched a new seed coating technology using a proprietary polymer film for controlled release of nutrients and fungicides, improving seed germination and seedling establishment.
• India: The Indian government, in collaboration with agricultural research institutions, is promoting the adoption of seed dressing techniques with micronutrients to address widespread soil deficiencies and improve crop yields, particularly for small-scale farmers.
• Brazil: Local seed companies are investing in research and development of seed pelleting techniques incorporating biological pest control agents, aiming for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to seed treatment.
