Abstract
Seed treatments have been applied since the 17th century, and since the 1990s have been revamped and exponentially increasing in use. Biological seed treatments have gained the most spotlight due to their connection with soil health, mainly in terms of potential beneficial relationships within soil biota and increasing soil health in general. BASF has developed a biological seed treatment called Ponchoâ Votivoâ 2.0 (PV2.0), which is marketed to improve yields by improving soil health, making nutrients more plant available. Other potential benefits include protecting roots from harmful nematodes and stimulating root growth at earlier stages to increase plant vigor.
