Seed Coating with Fungicides and Various Treatments for Protection of Crops: A Review
Abstract
Application of chemical products, biological products or physical treatment over to the seeds before sowing so to suppress, control or keep away pathogens, insects and other pests that ruin the healthy seeds, seedlings, or plants. Seed treatment is a revolutionary technology for crop protection and management that grants many advantages to cultivators and represents one of the most efficient instruments in precision farming.
