“Increasing Adoption of Biological Seed Treatments”
The inoculants for oilseeds and pulses market is witnessing a significant trend towards the adoption of biological seed treatments aimed at improving crop resilience and productivity. This trend is largely driven by the increasing demand for sustainable farming practices and the need to reduce chemical fertilizer use. Farmers are increasingly turning to microbial inoculants, which enhance nitrogen fixation, soil fertility, and nutrient uptake in oilseeds and pulses. For instance, Verdesian Life Sciences recently launched Accolade, a growth enhancement liquid containing Azospirillum brasilense, a bacterium that aids in root development and nutrient absorption, ultimately leading to higher yields. This growing trend reflects a broader shift towards more eco-friendly solutions in agriculture, as inoculants help improve soil health while reducing the environmental impact of conventional fertilizers. As awareness of these benefits spreads, especially in North America and South America, biological inoculants are becoming a key component of modern, sustainable agriculture practices.
