This report consists of a detailed analysis of and outlook for one of the most dynamic sectors in all of crop protection.
A number of converging trends make this the right time for this overview:
- As commodity prices remain high for growers around the world, it makes even more sense for growers to invest in protecting their crops.
- As biotechnology advancements have increased the value of some field crop seed by introducing new traits, growers have demanded better protection of that seed to maximize their return on investment.
- At the same time, new active ingredients have been introduced that present new opportunities for seed protection.
- New insect-resistant genetic traits in corn and cotton have changed the spectrum of pests to protect against, resulting in niche markets for seed companies that treat seeds for insect protection.
This report will focus on the application of fungicides and insecticides but will include other treatments that may be applied as a way of protecting the seed and seedlings, as well as enhancements such as colorants. It will review the most common seedling diseases for the crops being studied, address cultural practices and non-chemical control methods, and then focus on the technologies and products used to treat seed prior to planting.
The report focuses largely on off-farm treatment, but in cases where on-farm treatment is important, these treatments will be covered as well.
Crops covered include :
corn/maize, soybeans, wheat, and sunflowers
