Newly planted have to be properly taken care of until it grows into a plant. Lack of proper nutrition in the early growth stage of the seed affects its growth in the future leading to low yielding. Starter fertilizers provide the solution in this case.
Placing a small amount of fertilizer containing necessary nutrients along with the plantation of seeds to help the growth of seeds is called starter fertilizer. They improve the development of seeds during the time of their emergence by making the nutrients available in inaccessible locations to their roots. The nodal root system is slowed by weather or damaged by pests in normal conditions. Plants embedded with Starter fertilizers can withstand these situations and grow healthily.
Market Drivers and Restraints
With the increase in urbanization area under which forage & turf grasses are cultivated is increasing. As proper soil is not available in cities, starter fertilizers are in high demand to enhance growth. Untapped markets will result in higher growth opportunities for the starter fertilizers market. The increase in demand for food and agricultural products also helps drive the market growth of the starter fertilizers market. Lack of awareness among farmers and limited use of Starter fertilizers in agriculture are some of the major restraining factors for the Starter fertilizers market.
