Herbicides are substances utilized for destroying unwanted vegetation that may interfere with the growth and yield of desired crops. They are highly effective on perennial and parasitic weeds and closely planted crops compared to manual and mechanical weeding. They are safe on erodible and sloppy lands where tillage may promote soil and water erosions. Apart from this, they offer several benefits, such as high efficiency, easy application, cost-effectiveness, early and timely planting of crops, and lesser loss of nutrients and moisture from the soil.

Herbicides Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the utilization of herbicides for improving agricultural productivity by killing unwanted weeds and herbs during the plantation to meet food requirements across the globe. This represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the employment of non-selective herbicides to clear industrial and construction sites and railway ridges worldwide. This, coupled with the escalating demand for bio-based herbicides, which control the glyphosate-tolerant crops by using the existing spraying technology, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop new herbicides. Besides this, farmers are adopting unconventional farming practices to increase the crop yield in less crop cultivable land due to a shortage of labor. In line with this, the expanding agrochemical industry around the world is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, governments of several countries are undertaking initiatives to educate farmers about the concentration of herbicides used in the soil. This is projected to bolster the growth of the market in the forecasted period.
