Growth Factors in the Seed Treatment Market:

● Rising Demand for Higher Crop Yields

The growing global population and loss of agricultural land necessitate increased agricultural production. Farmers are being tasked with growing more food on less land, and seed treatment is a potential means to consider in maximizing yield potential. Treated seeds are more likely to recover from adverse situations due to unfavorable soil, pests, and disease thereby giving crops a greater advantage from the start. Seed treatments offer advantages such as the potential to improve early root development and seedling vigor facilitates establishing a solid foundation for final crop performance during the growing season. In addition to improving productivity, treated seeds are also likely to reduce crop yield variability caused by abiotic environmental changing conditions.

● Escalating Seed Costs and Risk Protection Needs

With the increased adoption of high-performance hybrid and genetically modified seeds has led to an increase in seed price which is now, the most significant upfront cost for today's farmer. With that cost comes the need to protect seeds from the outset. Seed treatment provides a relatively low-cost insurance policy to protect seeds from being attacked by biotic and abiotic threats, such as: seed-borne diseases, insects, nematodes etc. Protecting seeds provides seed lots that minimize the risks of crop failures and improve the uniformity of plant stands resulting in a use of the increased investment in elite seed. In short, seed treatment reduces seed and plants being attacked that would otherwise require chemical application and labor to address.

● Shift Toward Environmentally Sustainable Farming

Sustainability is now top of mind for farmers at all levels of the agricultural value chain, and seed treatments are being adopted to deliver targeted protection while minimizing traditional broadcast pesticide applications impacting the environment. Seed treatments minimize off-target effects, while decreasing the risk of chemical runoff into streams and lakes, and minimizing the risk of exposing non-target organisms including honeybees and beneficial insects. Seed treatments have been shown to be beneficial to all parties involved when protecting seeds, plants and the environment.

Key Trends in the Seed Treatment Market:

● Adoption of Nanotechnology in Seed Coatings

Nanotechnology is adding a new dimension to seed treatment with improvements to precision, efficiency, and sustainability. Nano-sized particulates allow protective and nutritional agents to reach the seed coat more deeply, increasing uptake and seed performance in challenging soil environments. Particulates can also be engineered to release their contents in response to environmental conditions; for example, a seed could release nutrients, or wear off protection, in response to soil moisture or pH level. In addition to nano-sized fertilizers and protectants, nanomaterials (such as chitosan, zinc oxide, or other carbon-based carriers) have been discovered to be compatible with beneficial microbes to enable a new level of hybrid biological-nano seed treatments.

● Climate-Resilient Formulations Gaining Traction

Rising weather problems-specifically the increase in frequency of extreme weather events (droughts, heatwaves, and saline waters)-has led seed treatment organizations to innovate climate-resilient products. Such products can include modern formulations biostimulants, anti-stress proteins, osmoprotectants, and compatible microbes, to allow seeds to germinate and become established with adverse environmental conditions. For example, using a seed coating containing mycorrhizal fungi and humic acids, improves crop water uptake and nutrient absorption under drought stress; or a silicon-based product that will help plants resist heat or salinity. These products are appropriate for places where there are climate variability effects, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of

● Surge in Multi-Functional Biological Seed Treatments

Biological seed treatments are transitioning from niche products to mainstream crop protection products very quickly. In contrast to chemical treatments, which dollars into the farming industry, biologicals are naturally occurring microorganisms or compounds that, once present in the soil, form a symbiotic relationship with the plant to enhance growth and defense mechanisms. Advancements have led to the development of novel multi-functional biological formulations that combine growth promoting rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, and natural enzymes to provide plants with numerous benefits, including increased nutrient uptake, stronger root architecture, and pathogenic resistance. There appears to be growing acceptance worldwide for organic and chemical free agriculture products, and achieving this has intensified further acceptance of biological seed treatments in row and specialty crop production.
