Nutrients are very important to be present in the soil for seeds to grow. At the time of planting, a small amount of fertilizer is placed near the seed to provide the necessary nutrients to the seed.

Starter fertilizers vary with different soil. A particular soil might be abundant in Nitrogen but have low phosphorous content. Starter Fertilizers have to be selected as per the requirement of the soil and the seeds. Starter fertilizers are mainly been used in fields with cool soil temperatures until soil conditions improve. Nutrients are not easily accessible for seeds when the soil temperature is cool. Using starter fertilizers reduces the environmental issues caused by the overuse of fertilizers. New technologies such as LEVEL, a fertilizer amendment that prevents nutrients present in the soil from becoming unavailable, are being introduced in the market.

The rapid increase in demand for efficient fertilizers and the adoption of new farming practices are some of the major factors that drive the growth of the market for Starter Fertilizers. To supply the global food requirements, an increase in the need for methods that increase the agricultural output led to the increase in demand for starter fertilizers. Ever-growing concerns for environmental degradation and lack of adequate knowledge among the farmers are some factors that restrict the market growth.
