Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vzpnzd/global_crop) has announced the addition of the "Global Crop Protection Chemicals Market - (2013-2019)" report to their offering. The ever increasing population growth rate across the globe along with the rise in calorie intake per capita has fueled the demand for food grains.

The bio-pesticide is mainly divided into three classes: biochemical pesticides that are naturally occurring substances that control pests by non-toxic mechanisms, microbial pesticides consisting of micro-organisms as active ingredients and plant incorporated protectant pesticides are produced from plants through a genetic material added into them. Chemical or Synthetic Pesticides are the predominant pesticides used excessively for crop protection. The chief pesticides used are categorized into fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.
