An agrochemical or agrichemical, a varied nomenclature for agricultural chemical, is, as the name suggests, a chemical substance used to aid in cultivation or its related activities. The range of products may vary from herbicides and insecticides to fungicides and nematicides. Other substances that also fall under it include hormones, antiseptics, and other chemical growth-enhancing or inhibiting agents.

A pesticide is, in general, any substance that kills or adversely affects the life cycle of organisms that are considered to hurt crop cultivation. The potential list of target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes, and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, or spread disease, or are disease vectors. The management of such pests and the manufacture of chemicals used for the same purpose have turned out to be a multi-million-dollar industry.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growth of the agrochemical and pesticide market is mainly driven by increasing health awareness among consumers and the increased demand for food production. Consumers are also demanding different varieties of organic and eco-friendly agrochemicals. Other drivers of the market include the lack of arable land, favorable government policies towards agriculture, and the technological advancements and research done in the field. Despite the numerous advantages, the market continues to be hampered by the lack of unified standards for safety as well as pricing.
