Seed treatment allows farmers to protect their crops early in the growing cycle in a targeted and resource-efficient way. This is critical as they face daily pressure from crop pests and diseases that reduce their ability to produce profitable and high- quality crops.

Seed treatment induces early germination and prevents seed-borne pathogens and pests. Seed rhizomes have to be treated before planting to control rhizome rot and other seed-borne diseases.

Seed treatments significantly reduce the impact of diseases and pests on the seed and plant to help it maximize its yield potential.

Fungicide Seed Treatment

Seed treatment may not provide protection for long enough to provide complete protection to the establishing crop. Pesticide breakdown is most rapid under warm, moist conditions. Limited shelf life of treated seed. Surplus treated seed cannot be sold for grain.

Here are some of the negative things you might have read or heard:

• Concerns about unsafe chemicals in the coating.
• Worry that coated seeds are more expensive than uncoated seeds.
• Anecdotes that coated seeds don't germinate as well as uncoated seeds.

Fungicide Seed Treatment

Disadvantages of seed treatment

• Limited protection under high pest pressure. Under high pest pressure, significant crop damage may occur.
• Duration of protection.
• Limited shelf life of treated seed.
• Phytotoxicity.

Disadvantages of Seed Propagation

• Due to genetic variation, very difficult to retain superior qualities.
• Trees may take more time to produce seeds than grafted plants.
• Seedling trees are often large, therefore comparatively expensive to maintain in an orchard.

Amistar top is world's leading fungicide powered with Amistar technology having effective broad spectrum control.

Systemic fungicides are the most effective ones as they redistribute themselves to the vessels of the plant. Thus some fungicides are locally systemic, some spread throughout the plant tissues and some just stay on the surface on which they are sprayed.
