Not AvailableIn Indian agriculture, with increasing population and there is growing demand in food
safety and security. Additional agricultural land and resources are of limited
availability. The reduction of current yield losses is due to lack of quality seed which
is basic input for agriculture. The seed quality plays major role. Seed quality
deterioration at different phases due to biotic and abiotic stresses is a major
challenge. In this context, a newer concept of seed coating plays a major role. Seed
coating achieves better plant establishment and higher yields by innovation in
delivery systems of active ingredients, correct use of pesticides and finally reshaping
seed microenvironment.Not Availabl
