Chinese Seed Treatment Registration Watch

China registered 337 seed treatment products up to December 2012, accounting for 1.35% of total pesticide products. 
 
The market is dominated by products focused on hot crops, such as corn, wheat, cotton, soybean, rice, peanuts, and lacking products for minor crops, including vegetable, gardening, and horticulture plants. Suspended seed coating is the main formulation for domestic market. Overall, seed treatment in China is still in a preliminary stage.   
 
Table 1 reveals that the existing registrations are relatively centralized, with the number of registrations for main products accounting for over half of the total registration.  
 
Thiram•Carbofuran, Carbendazim•Thiram•Carbofuran, Carbofuran•Carbendazim, and Phorate•Carbofuran have been registered in large numbers, but no new registration has been approved after the year 2009, due to the highly toxic ingredient Carbofuran they might contain. 
 
Imidacloprid and Tebuconazole are the two hot products for registration, showing a good potential for the coming years.
