A pesticide is a chemical or a biological agent such as a virus or disinfectant that kills pests. Nowadays, the use of pesticides is so common that the term pesticide is often treated as synonymous with plant protection product. Pesticides are often used to eradicate or control a variety of agricultural pests which could damage crops and livestock and reduce farm productivity. Key factors driving the pesticides market are arable land, increasing population and requirement for improving crop yields. Also, increase in global population results to rise in food demand. The growing percentage of calorie intake is also an additional factor for rising food demand. The demand for bio-pesticides and adoption of herbicide-resistant crop by farmers is also driving this market. Whereas, regulatory authorities such as EPA (Environment Protection Agency) often come up with strict laws related to restricting the use of pesticides and the increasing awareness about ill-effects of pesticides is expected to hamper this market. The global pesticides market is generally segmented based on product, application and geography. By product, this market is segmented into synthetic pesticides and biopesticides. Synthetic pesticides are further classified into synthetic herbicides, synthetic insecticides, synthetic fungicides, synthetic rodenticides and synthetic larvicides whereas biopesticides are classified into bioherbicides, bio insecticides, bio fungicides, bio rodenticides and bio larvicides.
Generally, insecticides are used to kill insects, herbicides to kill weeds, rodenticides to kill rodents and fungicides to control fungi. Based on application, the global pesticides market is segmented into crop-based and non-crop based. Crop based can be further classified into grains & cereals, oil seeds and fruits & vegetables while non-crop based can be segmented into turf & ornamental grass and others.
