Dublin, Oct. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dv9n42/north_and_latin)
has announced the addition of the
"North and Latin American Crop Protection Chemicals Market by Types
(Herbicides, Fungicides, Insecticides, Bio-pesticides and
Adjuvants), by Crop Types, by Geography: Trends and Forecast to
2018" report to their offering.
The crop protection chemicals market covers various types of
products being used in the farms to safeguard the crops, by
controlling the population of organisms considered harmful or those
that can potentially damage or adversely affect the growth of
crops. Crop protection chemicals are mainly divided into
herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Pesticides include both
synthetic pesticides and bio-based pesticides, are the largest
market segment owing to their wide-spread use in bulk quantities.
Adjuvants are essentially pharmacological or immunological agents
used to modify or enhance the effect of other vaccines and
drugs.
Insecticides are widely used because insects and parasites cause
maximum damage to the crops during cultivation. Insecticides are
used in large volume and they show their action for a longer period
of time as compared to others. But excessive use of any pesticide
results in the development of chemical toxicity for humans,
animals, and environment owing to soil leaching and water
contamination. Overall, it is essential to use crop protection
pesticides in appropriate quantity and time to minimize their
adverse effects and to bring to maximum benefits. The North and
Latin American market for crop protection chemicals, in terms of
active ingredient volume was estimated at 1,064.1 KT in 2011 and is
expected to reach 1,322.5 KT by 2018.
This report estimates the market size of the global, North and
Latin American
crop protection chemicals market both in terms of active
ingredient volume as well as revenue. The market has been further
segmented on the basis of crop types such as cereals, grains,
oilseeds, and vegetables as well as by sub-segmentation of
insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides such as glyphosate,
atrazine, and 2,4-D. This segmentation is given for major regions
and key countries in those regions. Market drivers, restraints and
challenges, raw material, and product price trends are discussed in
detail. Market share by participants for the overall market is
discussed in detail in the report. We have also profiled leading
players of this industry including Bayer CropScience (Germany),
BASF (Germany), Monsanto (U.S.), and Dow Agrosciences (U.S.).
