Pesticides include both synthetic pesticides and bio-based pesticides. These pesticides have a positive impact on the environment than their synthetic counterparts. Hence, such types of pesticides are expected to be one of the fastest growing segments in the near future. They are the largest market segment owing to their wide-spread use in bulk quantities. Synthetic pesticides are typically manufactured from petrochemical or inorganic raw materials. Similarly, adjuvants are essentially immunological or pharmacological agents used to modify or enhance the effect of other vaccines and drugs.

Benefits of Pest Control Chemicals

Helps to Increase Food Production: Around 40 percent of the world’s potential crop production is annually lost because of the adverse effects on the growth of weeds and crops due to pests and diseases. Thus, due to the invention of advanced crop protection technologies, there is an increase in crop yields and efficiency of food productions.


Decrease in the Cost of Food: Due to the increased use of pesticides in the aim of improving crop yields, the crop protection chemicals technologies have caused a great impact on the cost of food. Without the crop protection chemicals, the rate of food production would decline.

Consumer Benefits: Crop protection chemicals help in reducing or eliminating pesticides from many fruits and vegetables. The elimination of insect damage allows the consumers to consume and purchase high-quality food products that are free of insect fragments.
