The simplest definition of an Adulticide is a chemical or insecticide used to kill adult insects. Although adulticides come under insecticides, a recent boom in the adulticide segment has meant that it is now considered as a separate market.

Whereas a pesticide controls pests by inhibiting their life cycle, most often in the larvae stage, adulticides function by killing the pests after they have reached adult stage. Adulticides are the cure whereas pesticides are the preventive measure. The recent boom in the adulticide industry is due to the decrease in effectiveness of pesticides targeted at larvae. Pests have started developing resistances to most pesticides and have no problem reaching adulthood. In order to tackle this problem, use of adulticides to kill adult pests is the preferred method.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The major factors affecting the Adulticide market includes the obvious reason for increased demand for agricultural products. The increased demand for food production due to rising populations means maximum efficiency needs to be maintained in farms. Loss of crops to pests is not acceptable and on the off chance that normal pesticides fail, adulticides need to maintain crop productivity. As for the restraints of the market, as with any agrochemical, costs associated with its usage and ecological concerns are the main restraints.
