Seed treatment is a term that describes both products and
processes. Processes range from hot water treatment to priming. In all cases,
the basis of application techniques such as seed coating and pelleting is to
deliver the product to the seed at the correct dose and as uniformly as
possible from seed-to-seed. Seed treatments can be used as a primary tool to
conduct successful integrated pest management program for sustainable
agriculture since they target the pests and diseases with smaller amounts of active
ingredients per hectare and are not introduced into the atmosphere. In many
cases, without the use of seed treatment, growers would have great difficulty
in controlling certain early season seed-borne and soil-borne pests and
diseases that would have to resort to more expensive and less
environment-friendly methods.
‘Seed treatment can be done by the use of chemicals,
biological and physical technologies. Chemical seed treatment is the most
widely used around globe.
