As per an article published from the Proceedings of the International Academy of Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IAEES), globally 50,000 species of plant pathogens and 8,000 species of weeds are responsible for the damage caused to the crops, out of which insect pests are responsible for 14% loss, plant pathogens caused the 13% of the total damage, and the loss caused due to weeds was around 13% of the total loss.  Evidently, pesticides demand can be expected to sustain strong profitability in the near future.

 

Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides, and fungicides are antimicrobials used as a repellent for pests, fungus, including weeds. Other types of pesticides include defoliants and fumigants, they produce a vapor or gas intended to destroy pests or insects in soil or building. Pesticides are very popular in the agricultural industry mainly due to their effective application on unwanted pests and insects.   

 

• Almost one-third of the agricultural products are produced with the help of pesticides, according to the aforementioned IAEES study. Restraining the use of pesticide during the production of fruits, vegetable, and cereals may lead to a loss of 78%, 54% and 32% of total loss in the yield. Whereas, using pesticides reduced the loss around 35% of the total production.  
• The pesticides market is highly benefitting from the introduction of bio-pesticides. The awareness about the drawbacks of conventional pesticides among the consumers has enticed growers to invest more on the soil-friendly segment.
