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.
