Biological seed treatment consists of active ingredients that can include microbes like fungi and bacteria, as well as plant extracts and algae extracts. These microbes help the plant extract nutrients and water from the soil more efficiently, resulting in a denser and more extensive root system. Biological substances are applied to the seed in a powder form or as a liquid.

Benefits of seed treatment :

•  Promote root growth by establishing a symbiotic relationship between the plant and beneficial microbes
• Seed treatments make possible more sustainable farming practices that produce higher, more stable crop yields.
• Crop protection provided by seed treatments contributes to food quality and abundance.
• The targeted approach of seed treatments helps reduce negative impacts on natural resources and non-target organisms

Seed Treatment using microbes :

• Trichoderma spp: Mix Trichoderma spp powder with water. Coat seeds thoroughly before sowing. Seed treatment with fungi Trichoderma spp provides several benefits, including plant growth promotion, stress tolerance, and pathogenic fungi control.
  Recommended products- Multiplex Nisarga (Powder), Anshul Tricomax (Powder), T Stanes Bio Cure, Multiplex Safe Root, Multiplex Nisarga (Liquid), Anshul Tricomax (Liquid).
• Rhizobium spp:  Symbiotic bacteria that play the most important role in fixing atmosphere nitrogen in the soil.
  Recommended products Dr. Soil Bijopachar
• Azotobacter spp: It enhances the productivity of the soil by fixing atmospheric Nitrogen in the soil. This powerful product is good to use in crops like Vegetables, Sunflower, Coffee, Tea, Mango, Arecanut, Coconut, and other crops.
  Recommended products- Dr Soil Bijopachar
• Azospirillum spp: Azospirillum is an associative symbiotic Nitrogen-fixing bacterium that has higher Nitrogen-fixating potential. It enhances the productivity of the soil by fixing atmospheric Nitrogen into the soil. This  product is very good for Non-leguminous crops like Paddy, Jowar, Mize, Ragi, Turmeric, Ginger, Cardamom

• Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae: Azospirillum is an associative symbiotic Nitrogen-fixing bacterium that has higher Nitrogen-fixing potential. It enhances the productivity of the soil by fixing atmospheric Nitrogen into the soil. This product is very good for Non-leguminous crops like Paddy, Jowar, Mize, Ragi, Turmeric, Ginger, and Cardamom.    
  Recommended products -Mix 5-10 ml per kg of seeds. Multiplex Trishul

Conclusion: Biological seed treatments, when used effectively, have the potential to significantly boost crop yields. By improving root growth, nutrient uptake, and plant vigor, farmers can realize a substantial return on investment, making these treatments a worthwhile addition to their farming arsenal
