“Growing Shift toward Bio-Based and Environmentally Friendly Solutions”
One of the prominent trends in the seed treatment fungicides market is the growing shift toward bio-based and environmentally friendly solutions. As concerns over chemical usage in agriculture rise, both farmers and manufacturers are increasingly turning to biological fungicides derived from natural sources. For instance, the launch of TOLTEK, a biofungicide for cereal seed treatment developed by Certis Biologicals and Certis Belchim, marks a significant move towards sustainable crop protection. These biofungicides offer effective disease control and help preserve the environment by reducing chemical residues in soil and water. In addition, products such as Bayer’s Routine Start 280FS, designed to protect rice seeds from rice blast fungi, highlight the industry's focus on enhancing crop protection while improving resource efficiency. This trend is likely to gain momentum as regulatory frameworks favor more sustainable agricultural practices and as consumers demand cleaner food production methods. Bio-based fungicides offer a clear market opportunity for growth in the seed treatment fungicides sector.
