Argentina Seed Treatment Market Size, Growth Forecast | 2031

Report Description

The Argentina seed treatment market size is expected to register at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing the demand for high-efficiency seed chemicals.

Seed treatment broadly comprises of application of fungicide, insecticide, and pesticides to the seeds to disinfect them from pathogenic organisms. The removal of seed-borne or soil-borne organisms is also done by subjecting the seeds to solar energy exposure and immersion in conditioned water. The seed treatment is done to achieve multiple benefits including prevention of spread of plant diseases, protection from seed rot & seedling blights, improvement in germination, and control & protection from storage insects.

The most commonly used seed treatment technique includes seed disinfection, seed disinfestations, and seed protection. The seed disinfection refers to the eradication of fungal spores for effective control, the fungus. Seed disinfestations comprises of destruction of surface-borne organisms that contaminate the seed surface by using chemical dips, soaks, and fungicides in the form of dust or liquid. The seed protection technique is practiced to protect the seed & young seedling from organisms to avoid decay of the seed. Seed treatment is done for injured seeds, affected seeds with diseases, and under undesirable soil conditions.
