South America Seed Treatment Market Trends

Alternative approaches like disease-resistant cultivators reduce the seed treatment consumption per hectare in the region

• Over the historical period, there was a remarkable decrease in the consumption of seed treatments per hectare, with a significant reduction of 1,000 g per ha noted in 2022 when compared to the data from 2017. This decline was primarily attributed to various factors, including one of the pivotal reasons contributing to the decline in seed treatment usage is the increasing adoption of herbicide-resistant cultivators. These cultivators are genetically engineered to withstand the application of herbicides, allowing farmers to control weeds without the need for additional seed treatments. As a result, the demand for conventional seed treatments has reduced. Major agricultural countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay adopt these herbicide resistance cultivators in their major crops like soybeans, wheat, and maize.
• In addition to herbicide resistance, the widespread cultivation of genetically modified crops has significantly impacted seed treatment consumption. Genetically modified crops are engineered to possess built-in traits that offer resistance to various pests and diseases, rendering some seed treatments unnecessary for these crops. Consequently, farmers planting genetically modified crops have reduced their reliance on traditional seed treatments.
• Another crucial factor contributing to the decline in seed treatment consumption per hectare is the adoption of disease-resistant cultivators. These cultivators have been bred or engineered to resist common plant diseases, thereby reducing the need for disease-specific seed treatments. As more farmers adopt disease-resistant cultivators, the overall demand for certain types of seed treatment usage per hectare has decreased significantly.
