The seed is the only living thing during planting, which is why its treatment is one of the main actions to guarantee greater safety and productivity in the field. As well as completely protecting the seed, the treatment makes the plants grow stronger and healthier.

Seed treatment is a sustainable action for agribusiness, influencing other farming processes, such as reducing the use of pesticides during the spraying period.

This practice is an important stage in Integrated Pest and Disease Management, which, when carried out in a planned and conscious manner, eliminates the use of excess pesticides, restores the natural balance of the ecosystem and helps to manage resistance by adhering to the rotation of different mechanisms of action.

Protective actions for crops are necessary for the crop to develop and meet production expectations. That's why it's essential to think of ways to carry out these processes while reducing environmental impacts. Seed treatment works from pre-planting to harvest, protecting crops so that plants grow healthier and are less impacted by other factors, such as pests and diseases.

It's important to highlight the importance of seed treatment for more productive crops without having a major economic impact on the production process, because according to a survey carried out by Embrapa, the average cost of treating seeds, such as soya, over ten years, was just 2.2% of the total spent on the crop.
