Why Farmers Need Treated Seeds

Sometimes, seeds that farmers keep for planting can have tiny things called microbes on them. These little things can make the baby plants and later, the grown-up crops, sick. But there's a way to stop this from happening called seed treatment. It helps keep the seeds, the soil, and the air around them safe from diseases. It also makes the plants grow better, making them stronger and more likely to give good crops. Treating the seeds before planting is really important because it shields the seeds from things like bacteria, fungi, and viruses. If farmers don't manage these diseases early on, they can cause huge problems. Plant diseases can ruin all the crops, making farmers lose money and even mess up the soil where they grow crops.

As we look at the numbers, there's been less and less land available for farming each year from 2012 to 2016. The world's population keeps growing, but the places where we can grow food are shrinking, like the land we can use for farming and the water we need. Farmers have to find ways to grow more and better food with what they already have. They also need plants that can handle different weather conditions caused by changes in the climate. Using treated seeds is a smart way to save money, make better food, and stop crops from getting ruined. With less land available and more people needing food, farmers have to grow more crops on the land they have. They're using treated seeds because these seeds help control certain diseases that come from the soil and the seeds. This is making the demand for treated seeds go up because they offer lots of benefits compared to regular seeds that aren't treated.

So, because treated seeds help protect crops from diseases and make them grow better, farmers really want them. They're choosing treated seeds more because they're better than the regular seeds that aren't treated. This growing demand for treated seeds is expected to make the market for seed treatment grow even more in the future.
