Seed treatment is the process of applying biological, physical, or chemical agents and techniques to seeds to provide them protection and improve their establishment as healthy crops. Seed treatment can also encourage healthy crops by improving their immunity and promoting uniform germination. Seed treatment enhances the resistance of the seeds, making them stronger against pest attacks and stresses in their environment. Chemical or biological seed treatments can provide critical protection since the germination stage, protecting the emergence out of the soil and during the first stage of the crop cycle by preventing seeds against soil-borne pathogens, seed-borne insects, diseases, and pests. Seed treatments can be made up of a few ingredients, including fungicides, insecticides, and additives. The benefits of seed treatment include protecting crops from harmful pests and diseases, respecting biodiversity, and reducing the need for soil and foliar pesticide applications to manage early season pests.
