Market Overview

Fumigation, which involves the application of a pesticide gas into the soil or air to eliminate pests, is widely used in agriculture. Fumigation is one of the pest control methods used to kill or prevent the growth of pests. Agricultural fumigants are injected into the soil to rid it of insects, weeds, nematodes, and rodents like moles. Fumigant pesticides are used to kill small insects and fungi after harvesting grains and crops. Fumigants are used to protect crops. It removes pathogens from the soil, such as weeds, fungi, and nematodes, and promotes optimal crop development. These fumigants are useful for both pre-harvest and post-harvest applications, and they are extremely effective at reaching pests. 1, 3-Dichloropropene, phosphine, methyl bromide, chloropicrin, metam sodium, and other agricultural fumigants are commonly used. They are available in a variety of forms, including gas, solid, and liquid, and can be used in both soil and warehouses.

Driving Factors

A rapidly growing global population has increased food demand tremendously, requiring the implementation of better overall agricultural practices. This has resulted in a major effect on agricultural fumigant demand, which provides protection for agricultural products from pests. Furthermore, the demand for fumigants has increased in conjunction with the expansion of agricultural production over the years. Fumigation has become one of the most popular methods for preventing insect infestations in farm storage and silos while avoiding pest resistance development. Reduced post-harvest food losses are an important component of ensuring food security. Agricultural products that are freshly harvested undergo transformations during handling, resulting in post-harvest losses. Post-harvest losses can be avoided by fumigating pest control. For example, ammonia gas fumigation prevents citrus fruit decay after harvest. As a result, fumigation aids in the prevention of post-harvest losses and the preservation of agricultural product quality. Fumigation also aids in the thorough cleaning of storage sites, silos, and warehouses. These are the major factors to boost the market over the study period.

 

Restraining Factors

Stringent regulations, as well as an increase in residue during fumigation, are expected to stymie market growth. Furthermore, a few side effects of agricultural fumigant chemical compound exposure, including loss of appetite, dizziness, headache, emphysema, and vomiting, are negatively impacting its use in agricultural applications, thereby impeding the agricultural fumigant's market growth. The use of volatile chemicals in soil fumigation is controlled by a variety of governing bodies. It is essential to determine the best fumigant for each application. Furthermore, using handheld or manual injectors to apply these fumigants incurs significant labour costs.
