Today those involved in the crop production sector, including seeds breeders, product suppliers and manufacturers of seeds applied technology equipment are working hand in hand to deliver solutions to worldwide agriculture. “At Staphyt we are here to support them in their product development and regulatory strategy,” said Fanny.

SGS Group, as a world leader in field trials, can offer turnkey services for the industry throughout the whole seed treatment solution R&D cycle. We perform seed batch characterization services for seed grading, physical purity, genetic purity, seed germination and vigor rate, and seed health testing. For chemical treatments, our in-house analytical laboratories perform seed treatments, seed treatment application verification (STAV) and homogeneity of treatment testing.

China’s seed treatment industry, compared with that in developed countries such as European countries and the United States, started relatively late with a small share of the crop protection market, and its products, technologies and supporting services are relatively backward. With the adjustment of agricultural structure and the implementation of pesticide reduction program, China has gradually witnessed good market potential and development prospects in seed treatment.

The seed treatment agent business of Sinochem covers the pesticide research & development, production, sales and service. Based on the two “treasures” of created compounds and patented technology, the company is able to accomplish the integration of research, production and marketing, and achieve breakthroughs in all technically critical links.
