Question

Treating with fungicides before sowing the seed is necessary. Why?

Answer 1

In agriculture and horticulture, seed treatment or seed dressing is a chemical, typically antimicrobial or fungicidal, with which seeds are treated (or "dressed") prior to planting. Less frequently, insecticides are added. Seed treatments can be an environmentally more friendly way of using pesticides as the amounts used can be very small. It also refers to the subjecting of seeds to solar energy exposure, immersion in conditioned water, etc. Fungicides are biocidal chemical compounds or biological organisms used to kill parasitic fungi or their spores. A fungistatic inhibits their growth. Fungi can cause serious damage in agriculture, resulting in critical losses of yield, quality, and profit. treating the seed with fungicide can help prevent the seed to get damaged from fungal attack.
