Concise Analysis of the International Biopesticides Market
M2 - Wed Mar 05, 3:50AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2std96/global) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Biopesticides Market" report to their offering. One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Biopesticides market is the increasing grower-consultant collaboration. For the effective use of biopesticide on crops, the user needs to have an understanding of the procedure for correct and safe application. A lack of such knowledge has deterred farmers from adopting biopesticides. Use of chemical pesticides, on the other hand, is perceived as reliable and convenient. As a solution to this problem, several agrochemical companies, which produce biopesticides, have introduced field training programs for farmers and are encouraging consultant-farmer interactions. In addition, governments of many countries are increasingly conducting farmer training and counseling through biopesticide specialists. According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the lower R&D costs and availability of new products at competitive prices. The R&D costs for biopesticides is relatively much lesser than that of chemical pesticides. This has led to a host of new biopesticide products being introduced in the market. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the barriers to biopesticide commercialization. Many countries such as the US and the UK encourage biopesticide registration, but the registration process in most countries acts as a barrier to commercialization for companies.

2013 Report on the International Seed Treatment Market - Growth and Forecast to 2018
M2 - Tue Jan 21, 8:24AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nvnbc8/seed_treatment) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Seed Treatment Market - Growth and Forecast to 2018" report to their offering. Seed treatment refers to application of chemical or biological active ingredients to the seeds, which is done before seed packaging. Seeds are coated with fungicides, insecticides or with a combination of these to disinfect them from soil borne pathogenic organisms and storage insects. Seed treatment method is more effective and cost efficient than spraying of pesticides directly on plants, as the quantity required is less and hence leads to reduction in the amount of active substances required per acre of land. Few insecticides also help in increasing the stress tolerance of the plant, protecting it from heat and drought. Pesticides are generally classified into insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. Pesticides are composed of active ingredients that help to repel or kill pests and are added in different concentrations as per the requirement. These active ingredients can be used together or alone for killing or repelling crop insects and other pathogenic insects. Few active ingredients are used on broad spectrum bases while some of them are used specifically to target certain insects. The global seed market has been experiencing rapid development in recent years, owing to growing population and technological development. On the other hand, the environmental hazards of chemicals used in pesticides and growing restrictions on use of pesticides may hamper the growth of the seed treatment market. In the global seed treatment market, nonchemical treatment i.e. treatments using biological agents is expected to have the highest growth rate. Due to increased environmental concern, demand for bio based seed treatment is increasing.
