The crop protection market is constantly changing due to increased regulations, the growing demand for higher yields to feed the world’s expanding population, and the resistance plants have continued to build over the years to certain chemical ingredients. However, the introduction of new active ingredients for crop protection products is decreasing due to the high costs of development and registration.
The crop protection market is constantly changing due to increased regulations, the growing demand for higher yields to feed the world’s expanding population, and the resistance plants have continued to build over the years to certain chemical ingredients. However, the introduction of new active ingredients for crop protection products is decreasing due to the high costs of development and registration.
To solve these challenges, the market is trending toward combining active ingredients and sustainable inert components. These formulations ultimately increase transportation efficiency and reduce costs. While alternative technologies such as bio-pesticides and bio-stimulants offer future promise, they secure only a small share of the crop protection options for growers today.
Pine chemistry-based products are a growing category of sustainable inerts that combine well with active ingredients and effectively provide crop nutrition and protection for growers. Among the crop nutrition and protection products currently available, suspension concentrate (SC) and extruded water-dispersible granule (WDG) formulations provide major advantages to growers.
