New Trends in the Seed Treatment Market for H1 2025: Focusing on Peanuts and Wheat, Uncovering Opportunities in Five Major Crops

Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture, and seed treatment agents are the key technology that outfits these "chips" with high-tech "armor." By scientifically formulating fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, and film-forming agents, seed treatments provide a protective yet permeable coating for seeds. This technology not only prevents pests and diseases from the source but also significantly enhances crop stress resistance and final yield. It is a vital pathway to standardizing seed quality, reducing pesticide use, and protecting the agricultural ecosystem.

Securing the Autumn Harvest: The "One-Spray, Multi-Effect" Technique Boosts Stable and High Yields

With the "Start of Autumn" (Lìqiū) solar term now past, China's autumn grain production has entered its most critical stage of yield formation. To confront the multiple challenges of high temperatures, drought, flooding, and pests and diseases, a field management technique known as "One-Spray, Multi-Effect" is emerging as a powerful tool for securing the harvest. This technique involves the scientific blending and single-application spraying of foliar fertilizers, plant growth regulators, and pesticides to achieve the combined goals of disaster mitigation, nutrient supplementation, pest and disease control, and growth promotion, providing strong technical support for stable and high yields of rice, corn, and soybeans.

A New Era in Pesticides: How New Labeling Rules Are Reshaping the Industry

January 1, 2026, is set to become a watershed moment for China's pesticide industry. On that day, a new regulation from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (Announcement No. 925) will take effect, heralding a profound transformation centered on the humble product label. This is no mere update of information; it is a fundamental redesign of the industry's operating logic through mandatory transparency. The new rules aim to end the long-standing problem of a fragmented and disorganized market, propelling the sector toward greater accountability, brand integrity, and consolidation.

Prothioconazole Market Landscape Reshaped: New Combination Products Break with Tradition, Ushering in an Era of Diversification

China's agrochemical market has recently witnessed a pivotal product evolution. Three new combination products for the major fungicide prothioconazole have been officially approved for registration. All three combine prothioconazole with QoI (Quinone outside Inhibitor) fungicides—namely trifloxystrobin, azoxystrobin, and pyraclostrobin—and are all designated for the control of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. This development not only significantly enriches the prothioconazole product portfolio but also signals a fundamental break from its long-standing, relatively monolithic combination model.

Analysis of the Cucumber Crop Protection Technology Map: Strategic Choices Amidst Cyclical Registrations with Disease Control as the Core Battlefield

A systematic deconstruction of the 409 pesticide products newly registered for use on cucumber in China over the past five years (2020-2024) provides clear insights into the technological evolution and strategic core of this market segment. The data reveals three prominent features shaping the overall landscape: first, a defense strategy with an absolute focus on fungal disease control; second, the parallel rise of bio-pesticides and precision-targeted chemical agents; and third, the dominance of environmentally friendly formulations, led by suspension concentrates. Together, these elements sketch out a new blueprint for cucumber crop protection that is green, precise, and subject to notable cyclical fluctuations.
