Let Technology Light up Our Way to Future

At the 2nd Seed Treatment Technology International Seminar, famous seed treatment technology R&D experts, renowned enterprise representatives from both home and abroad are present to jointly promote the seed treatment technology, and promote health growth of croppers. From microencapsulate for seed treatment to suspending agent for seed treatment, from seed treatment suspending agent common-equipment model-selecting experience to how to save cost and boost effect for your seed treatment, the sharing of technology has become the theme of the 3rd Seed Treatment Technology International Seminar.

Pesticide has become one of the most important agricultural production materials, and pesticide formulations are the key direction of pesticide development. "Controlled release technique represents the developing direction of modern pesticide formulations." Ms. Xu Yan, Beijing Mindleader Crop Science Co., Ltd. says so at the seminar. Microencapsulate has obvious advantage, and it can ameliorate the physical properties of pesticide, and protect the effective ingredient, and control its release, and reduce the toxicity, and increase the effect, and reduce the times of pesticide application, and reduce the farming expenses.

Oriba Hu, Senior Manager of BASF Advanced Chemicals Co. Ltd. says that the seed treatment technology is closely linked with modern agriculture. In recent years, seed treatment suspending agent increases in status. From powder to solid-state preparations, it turns to seed treatment suspending agent. Data indicates that seed treatment agent innovation technology has obtained fast growth, and the agrochemical tycoons are the head sheep of innovation and development.

In his speech, he says that, according to current trend of seed treatment, the seed sales volume will soon reach 16~17 billion RMB in America. 75% of the seeds sold have undergone seed treatment, which means the global business of seed treatment reaches 2. 9 billion USD and the global seed treatment industry will reach 9.8 billion USD by 2021. Among seed treatment agents, the bactericide plays the vital role. The market share in 2018 reached 1.4 billion USD more or less. In terms of technique, the seed propelled by global biological techniques will more closely combine with application of seed treatment agents, to fully increase the seed source gene advantage of the new generation seeds. The seed treatment agent and suspending agent will be dominant.

As the co-sponsor of this seed treatment technology seminar, Mr. Li Junhu, seed coat agent marketing and technology manager of Sipcam Crop Science (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., shares the R&D experience of Sipcam Corp. in seed coat agent preparation. Firstly, he introduces the seven main factors to consider in seed coating agent preparation R&D. Regarding seed coat agent preparation, he suggests that, "first of all, high-toxic active ingredient shall be avoided to be used as seed coat agent as much as possible". Secondly, the film former is the key link in seed processing and application (if better in film formation, low in break-off rate, little in mil-dust, then the safety is higher). Thirdly, the selection of color syrup shall try the best to adopt warning color, to alert its toxicity and distinguish itself from the seeds treated by pesticide or edible seeds. "He says that, "Seed coat agent market is fast developing, and Sipcam Corp. will guarantee security and drug effect and service by virtue of its first rate imported product. We hope to grasp the industry development opportunity and provide high performance price ratio solutions and build the 'Wal-mart of the seed coat agent industry.'"
