Introduction

Plant protection chemicals provide agriculturalists with an economical way of refining quality of their crops and yield. They also make harvesting more upfront and preserve reliable yields from year to year. The main modules of plant protection chemicals are fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. Mostly organic crop protection chemicals are used, and minerals like copper salts and natural chemicals such as insecticide rotenone originated from roots of several plants are also used.

Market Dynamics

Growth of plant protection chemical is mainly driven by the development in farming practices and technologies, increasing necessity for food security for the increasing population, and hefty crop loss due to pest infiltrations. However, with rising concern about chemical deposits in food and barring use of definite chemicals in agriculture are at extent restraining growth of this market. Penetrating demand for food preservation by the rising global population coupled with narrow availability of agricultural land across the world will surge the market growth. In addition, unpredictable climatic variations and pest attacks are major concerns for loss of crop. Thus these factors are posing a profitable opportunity in this market.
