Dublin, Oct. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9p2stl/micronutrient)
has announced the addition of the "Micronutrient
Market by Type (Zinc, Manganese, Boron, Copper, Molybdenum, Iron),
Form (Chelated & Non-Chelated), Application Mode (Soil, Foliar,
Fertigation), Crop type and Geography - Global Trends and Forecast
to 2017" report to their offering.
Micronutrients are essential elements that are used for growth and
regulation of plant's vital physiological activities. Though these
are required in trace amounts, they are as important as
macronutrients. Globally, agriculture micronutrients application
has gained importance in the recent past due to its effectiveness
on overall quality and productivity of crops. The deficiency of
micronutrients has increased worldwide due to intensive cropping
pattern, extensive use of chemical fertilizers, mining of
micronutrient reserves, and extensive irrigation facilities. Soil
deficient in micronutrients affects plant growth and yield. To
replenish micronutrients requirement at crop level, crops are
applied with micronutrients according to nutrient deficiency and
specific requirement. Agriculture micronutrient market growth has
increased to a significant extent because of increasing global
micronutrient deficiency in soil and industrialization leading to
shrinkage in world's agricultural land.
In 2011, Asia-Pacific was the largest market accounting for 53% of
overall agriculture micronutrient market by volume. North America
and Asia-Pacific together accounted for 73% of the global market
volumes in 2011. North American agriculture micronutrient market is
expected to show potential growth in the next five years. The
deficiency in micronutrients content results in stunted growth,
withering of buds, yellowing of leaves, etc. In 2011, zinc
dominated the overall global agriculture micronutrient market and
accounted for 35%
The report provides full analysis of the world's leading players in
the agriculture micronutrient
industry, major micronutrient types and their forms, major
application modes and crop types, with a clear insight and overview
on the developments and trends. Major demand in agriculture
micronutrients market is projected to come from countries such as
China, U.S., Canada, Indonesia, Poland, Italy, Brazil, India, etc.
The growth has also attributed to the increasing demand for
standard quality and productivity of agriculture produce. The
report provides detailed analysis on the current phase of the
industry and the competitive strategies adopted by key players in
the agriculture micronutrient industry.
