The Android-based software provides comprehensive information on seed collecting, processing, storage, testing, breaking dormancy, and various seed treatment techniques to improve the germination of the corresponding species.
Germination test accounts for over half of the market share due to its pivotal role in assessing seed viability and quality. Similarly, North America dominates the seed testing market, capturing the largest market share due to its advanced agricultural infrastructure, stringent regulatory standards, and widespread adoption of innovative seed testing technologies.
Dynamics
Increasing Demand for High-Quality Seeds & Crops
As the global population continues to expand, there is a growing need to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security. High-quality seeds with desirable traits such as improved yield potential, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and nutritional value are essential for achieving these objectives. Seed testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality, purity, and viability of seeds before they are planted.
By assessing factors such as germination rate, seed health, genetic purity, and the presence of pathogens or contaminants, seed testing helps identify and eliminate inferior or defective seeds. In August 2023, the Federal Government of Abuja, Nigeria, introduced the upgraded Central Seed Testing Laboratory (CSTL) in the National Agricultural Seeds Council(NASC). With cutting-edge machinery, it has been modernized to an international standard.
Increasing Investment by Seed Manufacturers in Seed Testing Facilities
Increasing investment by seed manufacturers in seed testing facilities is a significant driver for the growth of the seed testing market. With the rising demand for high-quality seeds and the need to ensure compliance with stringent regulatory standards, seed manufacturers are increasingly focusing on enhancing their seed testing capabilities.
