What Is Driver Of The Green Manure Market?

The increasing prevalence of seed infection is expected to propel the growth of the green manure market going forward. Seed infection refers to the establishment of a pathogen within any part of a seed, which may occur systemically, either through the vascular system or plasmodesmatic connections or directly through floral infection or penetration of the ovary wall, seed coat, or natural openings. Green manure can play a role in seed infection by reducing the incidence and severity of plant diseases. Green manure can suppress weed infestation, control erosion, and enrich the soil through the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by legumes. For instance, in February 2023, according to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, a US-based organization, every year, pests account for the loss of 20% to 40% of global crop production. Plant diseases inflict an estimated cost of approximately $220 billion on the global economy, while invasive insects contribute an additional $70 billion in losses. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of seed infection is driving the growth of the green manure industry.
