The competitive edge of reduced residual over other crop protection products, drives the seed treatment market-2018

-


The crop protection products applied by seed treatment reduces the soil surface exposure by 90% compared to in furrow applications and 99% compared to surface application, which means lower environmental concern of harmful chemicals. Moreover, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defined the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in 2002 and stated that IPM is a careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human health and the environment.

In its latest publication Meticulous Research, states that global Seed Treatment Market will reach USD 4,566.1 million in 2022 with a CAGR of 8.7% from 2017. One of the prime factors for this growth is the lesser risk of residual in comparison with other products for crop protection.


The IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. Seed treatments are used as a primary tool in a 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 faced great difficulty in controlling certain seed-borne and early season seedling pests and diseases and would have to resort to more expensive and less environment-friendly methods. Further, seed treatment active ingredients are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). A rigorous, science-based, risk-benefit assessment is conducted by the EPA during the registration and development of these active ingredients. After evaluating data from more than 120 scientific tests and determining that the product poses no unreasonable adverse effects on humans or the environment, EPA registers crop protection chemicals for commercialization and to be used for seed treatments.

Furthermore, the seed treatment helps to reduce the chemical residue in the food as it is not directly applied to the crop and used at small quantity with various advanced techniques. In addition, the product to register for seed treatment goes through various assessment tests to check the risk and benefits of active ingredients.

Thus, the seed treatment ensures the minimum residue level in the food which drives the demand of seed treatment based products.

The key players operating in the global seed treatment market are Bayer CropScience AG, BASF SE, Syngenta (Subsidiary of ChemChina), FMC corporation, Monsanto Company (Part of Bayer), E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Nufarm Limited, The Dow Chemical Company, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd, Arysta LifeScience Corporation (Platform Specialty Products), ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Ltd, UPL Limited, Croda International Plc, and Tagros Chemicals India Ltd.

Organic agriculture performs multiple functions and it is an important tool for achieving „Green Productivity in agriculture and mitigates the negative impacts of conventional input-intensive agriculture by excluding the use of agrochemical inputs from the production system; minimizing environmental pollution; promoting reuse and recycling of organic farm waste and crop residues; improving biodiversity; and enhancing soil productivity. Organic agriculture and agribusiness also contribute to improve rural livelihoods and sustainable development through generating rural employment opportunities and increasing farm incomes. Organic agriculture is not for more affluent countries alone, but can be applied successfully in other situations. In less developed countries especially, it can contribute to foreign exchange earnings, green productivity, and sustainable socioeconomic development. The organic agriculture demands only organic inputs such as organic fertilizers for the production, wh

The Global Recreational Boats Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2018 to 2023 to reach USD 66.5 billion by 2023. The growth of this market is primarily driven by the booming tourism industry and increasing disposable income. Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the tourism accounts for 10% of global GDP, 7% of total exports, and one in 11 jobs across the world. In 2015, international tourist arrivals reached nearly 1.2 billion. By 2030, 1.8 billion travelers are expected to cross international borders. Furthermore, according to the World Bank, global economic growth is to edge up to 3.1% in 2018, much stronger-than-expected in 2017. The growing global economy and the growth of rising economies such as China, India, and Brazil result in an increase in disposable income of consumers. Also, per capita disposable income exhibits low volatility in developed countries because of

Spirulina: The Greatest Super Food On Earth?

-
Image
Spirulina has been used as food for centuries by different populations and rediscovered in recent years. Its impressive protein content and rapid growth in the entirely mineral environment have attracted the attention of both researchers and industrialists alike. As a part of more detailed analysis, a number of features of particular interest from the nutritional standpoint have been demonstrated: a balanced protein composition, the presence of rare essential lipids, and numerous minerals. In 1967, spirulina was established as a “ wonderful future food source ” in the International Association of Applied Microbiology (Sasson, 1997). Further analysis of the nutritional properties of spirulina showed an exceptionally high protein content of around 60–70% of its dry weight. The UNO in the year 1974, during its World Food Conference declared Spirulina “the best food for tomorrow”. The WHO (World Health Organization) has called Spirulina as “the greatest super food on earth” an
