Global Agrochemicals Market Segmentation Coverage

• On the basis of the fertilizer type, the market has been categorized into nitrogen fertilizer, phosphatic fertilizer, potassic fertilizer, and others, wherein nitrogen fertilizer represent the leading segment. Nitrogen fertilizers play a crucial role in stimulating plant growth by providing an essential nutrient required for important processes like photosynthesis and protein synthesis. They improve leaf growth and plant strength, resulting in higher crop production and better quality. Nitrogen fertilizers are commonly utilized in both industrial farming and backyard gardening to enhance the growth of crops, such as corn, wheat, and rice, which rely heavily on nitrogen for increased yields.
• Based on the pesticide type, the market is classified into fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and others, amongst which herbicides dominate the market. Herbicides are used to control or eliminate unwanted weeds and invasive plants that compete with crops for nutrients, water, and sunlight. By preventing or reducing weed growth, herbicides help optimize crop yields and enhance agricultural productivity. They are applied in various settings, including large-scale farming, home gardens, and public spaces like parks and roadsides. Herbicides come in selective and non-selective types, allowing targeted weed control without harming desired plants or complete vegetation clearing.
• On the basis of the crop type, the market has been divided into cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, and others.
