Hyderabad, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/10/2018 -- The Global Seed Treatment Market was worth USD 6,125.1 million in 2016 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 10.27%, to reach USD 10,844.8 million by 2022.

Seed treatment is a cutting-edge technology for crop protection that provides many benefits to growers and represents one of the most effective tools in precision agriculture. Seed treatments have helped to improve the yields of many different crops by providing the insurance of a uniform stand across a wide variety of soil types, cultural practices and environmental conditions. The technology allows broad-spectrum seed treatment crop protection products to protect seeds from pre- and post-emergent insects and diseases. Seed treatments provide an economical crop input that is applied directly to the seed using highly effective technology. In addition, emerging seed treatment technologies have improved in tandem with more advanced field planting equipment. The significantly lower amount of active ingredient applied compared to alternative applications makes seed treatment environmentally sustainable and further reduces potential off-target exposure to plants and animals.

Seed treatments are defined as chemical or biological substances that are applied to seeds or vegetative propagation materials to control disease organisms, insects, or other pests. Seed treatment pesticides include bactericides, fungicides, and insecticides. Most seed treatments are applied to true seeds such as corn, wheat, or soybean, which have a seed coat surrounding an embryo. However, some seed treatments can be applied to vegetative propagation materials, such as bulbs, corms, or tubers (such as potato seed pieces).
