On 1 November, 2017, Standardization Administration of China issued the newly revised Nomenclature and Codes of Pesticide Formulations GB/T 19378-2017, which was officially implemented on 1 May, 2018.

Seed treatment is made from pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, hormones and fertilizer, etc.) and auxiliary agents as slow-release agents, film forming agents, wetting agents, dispersants, and penetrants after advanced processing. It can be applied directly or after dilution on the surface of seeds, forming a protective film, a pesticide formulation with certain strength and permeability. Since the first formal registration of a seed treatment product was approved in 1985—35% metalaxyl seed dressing, which can help control millet downy mildew, seed treatment has developed for more than 30 years in China.
