Global nematicides market is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR of over 4.69% during the forecast period, 2022-2030

Market Research Future (MRFR) has published on the “Global Nematicides Market”.

Nematicides are substances produced chemically that either kill or negatively impact nematodes. These products may be nemastatic or nematicidal in their effects on nematodes. Nematicidal substances are extremely poisonous and kill exposed nematodes, whereas nemastatic substances do not really kill nematodes but instead prevent them from moving towards the roots of host plants or delay the hatching of their eggs. Any substance that is utilized to combat nematode diseases in vegetables is referred to as a "nematicides”. Based on how volatile they are in soil, nematicides are divided into fumigant and non-fumigant nematicides.

The global nematicides market is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.83% during the forecast period. The growing strategies adopted by major players to strengthen its foothold in the market to better serve the customers are likely to positively influence its market growth in the upcoming years. For example, in February 2019, At the Fruit Logistica 2019 trade show and exhibition in Berlin, Bayer, Netafim, and BGN Technologies, the technology firm of Israel's Ben-Gurion University, declared that they have signed a three-year research collaboration agreement. To create best practices for using drip irrigation as a delivery mechanism for the Bayer nematicide velum prime in Israel, the project will combine premier soil research, computerized prediction tools, and cutting-edge drip technology by Netafim. Recently, there has been a decline in popular approval of the use of chemical crop protection, which has led to political pressure and the disappearance of several products. Growers are now looking for sustainable agricultural solutions because crop protection is a crucial strategy for maintaining crop yields. With a brand-new, creative approach called DripByDrip, Bayer and Netafim have tackled this problem. Bayer's chemical and biological crop protection products are distributed using Netafim's drip irrigation systems.

Market Synopsis

According to the MRFR analysis, the global nematicides market size is projected to reach USD 4,020.69 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 7.83%.

Fumigant nematicides are poisonous substances with a range of effects. They may be helpful against a variety of soilborne illnesses and pests in addition to eliminating plant-parasitic nematodes. In high-value crops like vegetables, fumigants are used to decontaminate the soil and lower the risk of yield loss brought on by soilborne pests. When sprayed to soil, fumigant substances may dissolve into the water film that covers soil particles or travel as a gas through the gaps between soil particles to reach the target organisms. Fumigant nematicides can efficiently suppress plant-parasitic nematodes in a variety of soil types, but they work best in soils with coarser (sandy) textures than finer (clay) textures. In soils with water-filled pore space, the gaseous dispersion of fumigants may also be restricted. Additionally, soil temperature has an impact on fumigant volatility, with warm soils having higher volatility and cool soils having reduced volatility. When injected into soil at temperatures between 40 and 80 °F, Telone II (1,3-dichloropropene), for instance, exhibits promising nematicidal efficacy. Additionally, the efficient transport of the gases in the soil depends on adequate soil moisture. Therefore, excessive soil moisture will decrease the effectiveness of the fumigant nematicides.

Moreover, increased global population, rising food demand and the need to improve productivity in agriculture have contributed to a sustained growth of the nematicides market over past years. Increasing number of nematicides are being used by farmers and crop growers to protect their crops and maximise yields. Moreover, demand for effective nematicide solutions is being driven by changing weather conditions and the spread of invasive Nematode species..

COVID-19 Impact on Nematicides Market

The outbreak of the virus has impacted numerous walks of life leading to a global crisis.

Segmentation

By Type

• Fumigants: The Fumigants is a method of pest control that requires stuffing the affected areas with fumigants, or gaseous pesticides, in regulation to choke the pests. This process is usually used for agricultural applications but is also used for construction fumigation in buildings. Constructional fumigation is when a tarp is placed over a structure in order to hold the fumigants and authorize them to stab through cracks and crevices to reach and exterminate pests such as dry wood termites, bed bugs, and wood-eating beetles. This method is one of the most effective techniques of pest control. Structural fumigations are controlled by using sulfuryl fluoride, a colorless, odorless, lethal gas, which is heavier than air


• Carbamates: Carbamates are esters of N-methyl carbamic acid. Carbaryl, propoxur, aldicarb, oxamyl and terbucarb are carbamates. It is used as sprays or baits to kill insects by affecting their brains and nervous systems. They are used on various crops on farms and in homes to kill ants, cockroaches, fleas, crickets, whitefly, aphids, scale, lace bugs, and mealy bugs. Some carbamates control mosquitoes. And these pesticides are generally divided into N-allyl carbamate herbicides and N-methylcarbamate insecticides in view of their chemical structures and biological actions.


• Organophosphates: Organophosphates are phosphoric acid esters or thiophosphoric acid esters. Their original substance was highly toxic to mammals. Organophosphates is developed since then and are less toxic to mammals but toxic to target organisms, such as insects. Dibrom, chlorpyrifos, Malathion, temephos, diazinon, and terbufos are organophosphates. It is used as insecticides, medications, and nerve agents as a weapon


• Others: The other segment includes biochemicals (DiTera, ClandoSan, Sincocin). Like, DiTera DF Biological Nematicide offers a defense opposed to plant-parasitic nematodes that harm grape, vegetable, fruit, and nut crops. It protects the plant and vegetables from nematode harm, allowing for healthy root evolution, efficient uptake of nutrients and water, optimum plant growth, and sustainable economic yields.

By Form

• Dry: The dry form is a solid form of dosage including finely divided substances considered for absorption or external application. This form is a finely divided state, and a solid substance, typically sorted through grinding, crushing, and comminating. The dry form is present in powder form, that is, a powder is referred to as a dry, bulk solid substance of many very fine particles that may flow freely when shaken or tilted. Powders are a special sub-class of a granular substance, whereas powder and granular are sometimes used to differentiate separate classes of material. The dry form is a loose substance or material that is made up of extremely tiny, dry, solid grains.


• Liquid: A liquid is a type of matter that is a specified application that makes it less stiff than a solid but more rigid than a gas. A liquid can flow and does not have a particular shape like a solid. Instead, a liquid observes the shape of the vessel in which it is held. Whereas, this is similar to a gas, and the liquid does not expand to fill up the container like a gas. The liquid form is of two categories pure liquid and liquid mixtures. Chloropicrin is used as a pre-plant soil fumigant to regulate the nematodes and soilborne diseases in various other crops. It is produced in liquid form with an average vapor pressure, and it spread quickly through soil when applied below the soil surface under a tarp.

By Crop Type

• Fruits & Vegetable: Fruit and vegetables are an important part of a human’s daily diet. They are natural and contain vitamins and minerals that assist to be healthy. Fruits & vegetables also help to protect against diseases. It also contains many vitamins and minerals that are good for one’s health. Many of these are antioxidants and may reduce the risk of many diseases such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, phosphorous, and folic acid.

As part of a well-balanced, healthy diet and an active lifestyle, a high intake of fruit and vegetables can help in reducing obesity, maintaining cholesterol, and lowering blood pressure.


• Cereals & Grains: Cereal grains are the seeds that are generated from grasses such as wheat, millet, rice, barley, oats, rye, triticale, sorghum, and maize (corn). Around 80% of the protein and over 50% of the calories consumed by humans and livestock are from cereal grains. The United States is a major supplier of cereal grains to the rest of the world and some impoverished countries depend on gifts of both un-milled and processed grains from America to keep their people from starving. Cereal grains are grown in large quantities and offers more food energy globally than any other type of crop and are furthermore staple crops staple. Consumable grains from various other plant families, such as quinoa, buckwheat, and chia, are referred to as pseudo cereals in their natural form. Cereals are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein.


• Oilseeds & Pulses: Pulse, is basically, less in oil, whereas oilseeds obtain between 18% to 50% oil, although sunflower seeds carry the large oil percentage. These oils are fatty acids and unsaturated. And maize, oil-bearing, and oats seeds are effective sources of important fatty acids. The FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) recognizes 11 categories of pulses such as dry broad beans, dry beans, lentils, cowpeas, pigeon peas, dry peas, bamboo beans, chickpeas, vetches, and lupines. The milling process of pulses is the cleaning, and grading process, pitting, and pre-milling treatments done that is wet treatment and dry treatment. The processing of oilseed includes drying and cleaning.


• Others: The other segment includes pine trees, cotton, coconut, flowers, turfs, and tobacco. Like, Cotton crops are soft, fluffy staple fibers that are used significantly in the textile industry. The fiber is made of almost pure cellulose and contains few traces of waxes, fats, and water. Coconut is generated along with seedlings raised from selected seed nuts. Generally, 9- to 12-month-old seedlings are used for planting

By Mode of Application

• Soil Treatment: Soil treatment is a method that purifies and revitalizes soil by removing impurities. Soil impurity is often caused by various chemicals that include petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, lead, and other heavy metals, wastes such as alkali, oil, or some other non-degradable material. The main concern behind soil treatment is the harm to human health associated with direct contact with contaminated soil, vapors released by contaminants, and secondary contamination of water supplies. The Impurified soil is treated using microbes, pH adjusters, organic amendments, and soil treatment technologies such as biological, physiochemical, and thermal treatment. The soil treatment is of two methods, fumigation and irrigation. Fumigant nematicides are chemicals with high volatility. They move rapidly through the air spaces between soil particles. Therefore, their movement may be restricted if soil pore spaces or pore necks are filled with water. On the other hand, Irrigation nematicides are of low volatility and are spread through the soil and dissolved in the soil solution. Their movement may be enhanced by water movement through irrigation or rainfall.


• Seed Treatment: Seed treatment is known as the application of insecticide, fungicide, or a combination of both, to the seeds that disinfect them from seed-borne or soil-borne pathogenic organisms and storage insects. It is also known to the seeds to solar energy exposure, immersion in conditioned water, etc. The seed treatment is done to achieve various benefits such as improving germination, control of soil insects, protecting the seeds from seedling blights, and providing protection against storage insects, and various others. The procedure of seed treatment can be done by seed dressing, seed coating, and seed pelleting. The seed treatment is of three types that is seed disinfection, seed disinfestation, and seed protection.


• Others: In others, foliar application and trunk injection is included. The foliar application is defined as feeding plants by applying liquid fertilizer directly to the leaves as against to the soil. The absorption takes place through their stomata and their epidermis. And the Trunk injection is a choice to deliver pesticides, insecticides, nutrients, or other plant protection materials into the stem or trunk of woody plants as an alternative to spraying or soil drenching.
