In 2017, the value of the corn seed treatment market was estimated to be around USD 0.63 billion.
Global Agricultural Coatings Market is expected to expand during the projected period due to increasing demand for agricultural coated products. Agricultural coating consists of chemicals that are used for various application. They are used to lubricate machinery, tools, seeds, fertilizers, and vehicles which are used by the farming industry. In addition to this agricultural coatings are also applied to eliminate pests such as weeds. Along with this agricultural coatings are used in the packaging to ensure that the food is not degraded as it helps to preserve food from moisture and oxidation. Above this, agricultural coatings are dominated by the seed treatment sector as they help to protect seeds from pests and diseases to promote seed germination, seed coatings which are widely used in agriculture. By doing this, crop output can be increased while using fewer additional plant protection chemicals.
Rising adoption of Agricultural Coated Products
Agricultural coating plays a vital role in the farming sector. It helps in increasing crop production as well as also helping in the protection of crops and end products. Agricultural coatings are categorized based on seed, fertilizer, and pesticide coating. Many technical developments in the seed industry are helping to produce crops in a sustainable manner. Seed coating is the application of exogenous materials onto the surface of seeds with the aim of improving seed appearance and handling characteristics and/or delivering active compounds that can protect the seed against phytopathogens and increase germination and plant growth. The use of commercial seed technology by specialist applicators or seed companies is expanding. Recent developments have increased the usage of commercial seeds. Commercial applicators now more than ever need advanced technology because high-value seeds demand more complicated procedures. Thus, it is anticipated that greater commercial seed technology usage would raise the need for seed coating, consequently driving the growth of the Global Agricultural Coatings market.
For instance, in September 2022, Corteva Agriscience launched seed coating technology for paddy crops to fight pests such as leaf folders and yellow stem borer.
Furthermore, in 2023, DPH Biologicals has launched a multi-action biological fungicide seed treatment, BellaTrove Companion Maxx ST, that helps seedlings fight pathogens and ensures healthy root systems.
However, few seed coatings rely on polymers made from petroleum, which are partially degradable in agricultural soils. As a result, there is an increase in demand for biobased seed coatings. Therefore, many players are concentrating on creating seed coating that are completely biodegradable in conjunction with this. Companies are addressing the demand for a sustainable replacement for the present polymer-based synthetic coatings on seeds with low biodegradability to increase sowing ability and seed visibility in the soil.
For instance, in 2022, Croda International Plc & Cambridge University announced the production of biodegradable, microplastic-free seed coatings.
In addition, solid fertilizers get a surface treatment called a coating, which might be liquid, solid, thermoplastic, or reactive. Although multi-nutrient fertilizers are occasionally employed, coatings are most frequently applied on granular or prilled nitrogen fertilizer. Coated fertilizers provide various advantages, such as lower costs and longer nutrient release, which results in more consistent plant nutrition, greater growth, and increased plant performance.
For instance, Ingevity provides a variety of pine chemicals that can be used as tackifiers or to enhance the longevity of the fertilizer granule coating.
Moreover, to control the impact of pests and diseases many people use pesticides which help to protect crop.
For instance, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), more than 4 million tonnes of pesticides were utilized for agricultural purposes.
Serious concerns have been raised about the health risks associated with occupational exposure to pesticides as well as from residues in food and drinking water, even though pesticides are developed under strict regulatory processes to function with reasonable certainty and minimal impact on human health and the environment.
So to overcome this issue, research is going on agricultural coating to enhance the crop productivity as well as reduce the impact of pesticides, and synthetic chemicals on human health and the environment.
Increasing government initiatives to spread awareness about the agricultural coating
The Global Agricultural Coating Market is expected to rise significantly because of rising demand for these coatings and increased government efforts to educate farmers. With the purpose of educating the public about the benefits of this coating, several governmental bodies have launched campaigns and initiatives. The government has also provided financial aid for further study in this area. There is now a sizable untapped market with high demand because many farmers are not aware of all the benefits these coatings offer. As knowledge increases, more coatings created abroad will be found at, boosting revenues for producers.
In addition, many government agencies promote fertilizer industries to focus on bio-based material which help to increase the crop yield and reduce the effect of pesticides and chemicals on the crop.
For instance, government of India mandated to many fertilizer producers for increasing the production of neem-coated urea
Polymer will be the Key Coating Material
The film coating compositions known as polymers cover the seed or pellet with a thin, water-permeable polymer-based coating. The surface of the seed is smoothed with a small coating of polymer, improving flowability. It also affects how much water is absorbed by and how well chemical fungicide treatments are followed. The seed's raw weight is increased by 1% to 5% via film coating. The thin layer of polymer helps the additives stay on the seeds, prevents dusting and pollution, and improves the seed's look. Major agricultural colleges have tested the compatibility of several types of seeds with seed coating base polymer under varied conditions. It was discovered that using a seed covering polymer significantly increased seed vigor and improved seed germination.
For Instance, in 2021, according to the US Department of Agriculture Renuvix LLC produce Novel Biodegradable Biobased Polymers For Agricultural Applications.
Additionally, colorant is also on the demanding coating material in the agriculture application. Colorant coating material improves the health of seeds and meets the criteria of Codes of Federal Regulations (CFR). These materials are highly durable, heat stable, solvent resistant, lightfast, and migration fast.
For instance, BASF produces Color Coat Liquid Seed Colorant which are water-based, low viscosity solution with neutral pH that offers convenience and easy cleanup.
All these factors increase the
However, the agriculture industry is significantly impacted by climate change. In addition to decreasing disease and insect assaults, it aids in raising productivity. Crop loss is anticipated because of the impact that climate ambiguity will have on agricultural output. The climate has an impact on many agricultural crops, and on occasion, the climate itself promotes crop growth. Weather predictions are used to organize many agricultural activities, such as planting, irrigation, controlling crop diseases and pests, and harvest preparation.
For instance, common mustard crops normally flourish in mesic temperate zones; nevertheless, it is expected that their numbers would decrease because of global warming and rising aridity.
Increased aridity is anticipated to result in a decrease in the oil and seed yield of rapeseed crops which result in restraining the growth of market. Additionally, in developed nations, the technology has long been in use. The technology is still quite new for developing countries. The lack of broad information about the advantages of technology with relation to application costs and environmental issues has severely slowed down the market growth.
