</s>one of the best lines of defence against harmful organisms on your crops. In an IPM approach, seed treatment plays a crucial role in preventing pests and diseases right from the start.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-is-seed-treatment">What is seed treatment?</h2><p>Seed treatment is the application of substances to seeds before sowing. Its goal is to protect the seeds and future seedlings from pests and pathogens. Seeds are treated with a physical, chemical or biological agent before sowing. Agents include products such as insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, but also biocontrol agents.</p><p>Opting for natural seed treatment substances like biopesticides can effectively protect crops in their most vulnerable state and enhance plant health while improving agricultural sustainability.</p><div class=wp-block-image><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority=high decoding=async width=1024 height=673 src=https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/maize_seeds_with_farmers_hands-1024x673.jpg?x76044 alt="A farmer holding maize seeds with his hands above a container filled with the seeds.

This barrier will deter foreign pests and pathogens. It targets organisms that might attack stored or germinating seeds or young crops during emergence or early growth.</p><p>Seed treatment is beneficial against pests and diseases that are seed and soil-borne. It works also against pest and diseases that attack crops early in the season. These harmful organisms are usually very destructive when not managed in time. Indeed, crops are the most susceptible to attacks in their early growth as their immune system has not fully developed yet.</p><p>Treating seeds can encourage crops to grow healthy and become robust, which will help them overcome future pest attacks.</p><div class=wp-block-image><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding=async width=1024 height=683 data-src=https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-1024x683.jpg?x76044 alt="Rows of young maize plants growing in the soil" class="wp-image-3212 lazyload" data-srcset="https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-300x200.jpg 300w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-768x512.jpg 768w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-120x80.jpg 120w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/young_maize_plants-800x533.jpg 800w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024/683;"><figcaption class=wp-element-caption>Young maize plants growing in a field.

It also uses smaller<a href=https://croplife.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf_files/Seed-Treatment-A-Tool-for-Sustainable-Agriculture.pdf> amounts of active ingredients per hectare</a> than traditional foliar spraying methods.</p><p>For example, some early-season pests are effectively controlled with seed treatment with a reduced usage rate compared to other foliar products. This also means that the impact on the environment is lessened. In the long run, it can even be cheaper and time-saving for growers needing fewer products and applications.</p><p>In addition, seed treatment targets pests directly at the source, unlike foliar spraying methods that can leave a significant portion of the product in the atmosphere. Substances used for treating seeds move and contaminate less of their surroundings, which is safer for the environment and human health. Using natural substances like biopesticides for seed treatment can reduce even more unwanted effects on wildlife and the environment.</p><p>Seed treatment can improve seeds’ emergence rate and overall plant vigour. It can also enhance the uptake of nutrients as well as stimulate root development, resulting in robust plants.</p><div class=wp-block-image><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding=async width=1024 height=631 data-src=https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-1024x631.jpg?x76044 alt="A farmer in Vietnam, sowing seeds in a field." class="wp-image-3213 lazyload" data-srcset="https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-1024x631.jpg 1024w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-300x185.jpg 300w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-768x474.jpg 768w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-1536x947.jpg 1536w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-2048x1263.jpg 2048w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-125x77.jpg 125w, https://bioprotectionportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/farmer_sowing_seeds-800x493.jpg 800w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024/631;"><figcaption class=wp-element-caption>Vietnamese farmer sowing seeds in a field.

Thus, it can prevent growers from resorting to harsher, less environmentally-friendly, and more expensive control methods once a pest or disease is detected. This aligns well with the <a href=https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol/integrated-pest-management-ipm-principles>fundamental principles of the IPM approach</a>, which aims to use multiple pest management strategies to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.</p><p>By treating seeds, growers can provide their crops with an immediate defence against potential threats. Of course, this cannot guarantee that all pests will be kept under control. However, along with other IPM measures such as crop rotation, biological control, and cultural practices, seed treatment helps maintain a balance between pest control and environmental sustainability.</p><p>By integrating biological seed treatment into <a href=https://bioprotectionportal.com/resources/integrated-pest-management-use-and-its-benefits/ >IPM strategies</a>, farmers can promote sustainable agriculture and enhance their crop productivity in a responsible and environmentally-friendly way.</p><p></p><p><em><a href=http://eecosense.com/index.html>Thanks to Ecosense Labs.
