Biological Seed Treatment Market Gains Momentum as BASF's Integral Pro Delivers 3.5 dt/ha Average Yield Increase in EU Sunflower Trials
Biological Seed Treatment Market
The competitive landscape is expanding as major agricultural companies broaden biological portfolios. Bayer introduced Ibisio, Yoalo and Susteed as new biological seed-treatment solutions, targeting bird protection, nutrient availability, crop stimulation and fungal disease management. Nufarm also launched Pretium SDS in the United States for soybean protection against Sudden Death Syndrome and Red Crown Rot. These developments create opportunities for BASF, Bayer, Nufarm, Syngenta, Corteva and other agricultural-input companies to expand crop-specific biological products, develop integrated chemical-biological treatment programs and strengthen distribution across major farming markets.

According to DataM Intelligence, the global Biological Seed Treatment Market was valued at USD 1,603.29 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 3,526.02 million by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. Microbials represent the dominating type segment, reflecting strong commercial interest in microorganisms that support crop protection and plant performance.
North America currently leads the biological seed treatment market, supported by established commercial agriculture, advanced farming practices and strong adoption of biological crop-input technologies, while Europe is identified by DataM Intelligence as the fastest-growing regional market. Microbial treatments remain the strongest product category, while multifunctional biologicals that improve disease protection, root development, nutrient availability and stress tolerance are gaining traction as manufacturers move biological seed treatment from niche applications toward integrated crop-production systems.
United States: Recent Industry Developments
✅ September 2026: Syngenta unveiled EXORTTM technology, a new biological platform designed to activate plants' own biological signaling mechanisms at very low application rates. The technology represents a next-generation biological approach aimed at improving crop productivity and resource efficiency, broadening the biologicals pipeline beyond conventional microbial products.
✅ May 2026: BASF commissioned its new BioHub fermentation plant in Ludwigshafen, backed by a high double-digit million-euro investment, with commercial production of biological active ingredients beginning in 2026. The facility specifically supports biological fungicides and biological seed-treatment products, strengthening production capacity and supply-chain resilience for biological crop-protection technologies serving North American and global markets.
✅ March 2026: Corteva Agriscience published technical research on biological seed treatments, highlighting microbial-based technologies using bacteria and other living organisms to protect seedlings, improve root development and enhance nutrient-use efficiency. The company's analysis positions biological seed treatment as an increasingly important complement to conventional chemistry as growers pursue sustainability, stewardship and early-season crop-performance gains.
Japan: Recent Industry Developments
✅ June 2026: Corteva Agriscience Japan expanded the approved applications for LumiviaTM FS, a seed-applied insecticide, to include direct-seeded rice. The development extends seed-treatment technology into additional rice establishment systems, strengthening the role of localized seed-applied protection for early pest management and labor-efficient Japanese rice production.
✅ May 2026: Corteva Agriscience Japan launched MycoUpTM, a microbial biostimulant containing the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus iranicum var. tenuihypharum. The technology establishes symbiosis with crop roots to improve water and nutrient uptake, phosphorus utilization and root development while enhancing tolerance to drought and heat, expanding Japan's biological-input portfolio toward microbiome-enabled crop performance.
✅ February 2026: Sumitomo Chemical continued strengthening its global biorational platform following its reorganization of U.S. agrochemical businesses into a dedicated Sumitomo Biorational structure. The platform integrates R&D, manufacturing and commercialization of biorational products, including microbial pesticides and rhizosphere microbial technologies, creating a broader technology base for biological crop inputs and seed-treatment applications.
Key Mergers and Acquisitions
✅ Syngenta and Groundwork BioAg entered a strategic partnership on July 14, 2026 to commercialize Groundwork's mycorrhizal technology and soil-carbon solutions. Syngenta will market mycorrhiza-based products under its own label, initially targeting corn, soybeans, cereals and sunflower in Latin America and Europe, while Groundwork BioAg will handle manufacturing, supply, digital tools and carbon-program development. The agreement expands Syngenta's biologicals platform into mycorrhizal crop-performance and soil-health solutions.
✅ Novonesis and Rovensa Next announced a U.S. distribution agreement on June 11, 2026, under which Rovensa Next will commercialize selected Novonesis agricultural biosolutions beginning with the 2027 growing season. The portfolio spans biostimulants, biofertilizers, bionutrition, biocontrol and adjuvants and is explicitly described as covering the value chain from seed treatment through post-harvest.
