Seed treatment is the application of fungicide, insecticide, or a combination of both. The treatment is employed to disinfect and disinfest seeds from soil or seed borne pathogenic organisms and storage insects. Seed treatment provides various benefits such as prevent plant diseases, seed rotting, and improves germination. The increasing population across the globe has generated immense demand for food, which is the major factor driving the market growth. Some of the disadvantages related to the seed treatment are accidental poisoning, cropping restriction, limited dose capacity, and phytotoxicity. The crops that are generally treated with seed treatment are corn, wheat, rice, barley, soybean, cotton, sunflower, and others. For instance, the EU project “Seed Treatments for Organic Vegetable Production” (STOVE) aimed to evaluate a non-chemical method for control of seed-borne pathogens in organic vegetable production.
