Increasing R&D Activities to Develop New, High-Performance Coating Methods are Expected to Propel the Seed Coating Materials Market Growth
Seed coating is the strategy of formulation of seed protection on top of the seed. The main intent behind seed coating escalates the protection of seeds against fungal, pathogenic attacks. Seed coating is the applying of exogenous materials onto the surface of seeds, which aims to enhance seed appearance and handling characteristics (such as size and weight) or/and deliver active compounds that will protect the seeds from pathogenic attacks and increase germination and plant growth. Several materials such as repulsive agents, fertilizers, polymers are used to coat seeds. Moreover, increasing R&D activities to develop new, high-performance coating methods are expected to propel the Seed Coating Materials Market growth. As an example, recently, a movie coating method has been developed to overcome the disadvantages of other coating methods. On the basis of the product type, polymeric seed coating holds the biggest revenue share in the market and is expected to le...
