The Development Direction Of Insecticide
The current status and development direction of the global pesticide market is as follows:
1 Global warming triggers pest and disease activities, which in turn leads to increased use of pesticides. In agricultural production, the occurrence of pests and diseases is closely related to climate change. If climatic conditions are unfavorable to the growth of pests, the extent of pests and diseases will be greatly reduced, thereby reducing The amount of pesticide used. Usually, cold weather will kill a lot of winter pests, while warm winter will cause large-scale outbreaks of pests and diseases in the coming year. According to the latest monitoring results released by the World Meteorological Organization, 2000-2009 is the warmest 10 years since the global systemic meteorological observations in 1880. Climate warming will lead to increased pest and disease activities, resulting in continued growth in pesticide use.
2 Insecticides still maintain the main position of the international pesticide market. The three major types of pesticides, such as pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, are the mainstay of the international pesticide market. In 2004, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides accounted for 25:24:48 of the global pesticide market. In 2009, pesticides still accounted for 25% of the global pesticide market, with North America and Western Europe remaining the largest. Market share, accounting for about 70% of the entire market (source: Phillips McDougall).
3 The safety requirements for pesticides are increasing. The global pesticide industry is constantly evolving and faces a series of new requirements. The use of pesticides for many years has caused different degrees of pollution to the environment and humans and animals. Therefore, the international community The requirements for high efficiency, low toxicity, low residue and no pollution of pesticides are getting higher and higher, especially in the pesticide industry.
Therefore, with the further improvement of food safety awareness and environmental protection awareness, the variety and scope of highly toxic and high residual pesticides will be further limited, while being highly efficient, low toxicity, environmentally friendly and not resistant to resistance. Insecticides will be used more and more widely. The result is that the life cycle of highly toxic pesticide intermediate products has ended or entered a recession period, and new pesticide intermediates are in the process of being characterized by high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue. In the long run, profits are more abundant. For example, DuPont's new commercial insecticide "chloramphenicol benzamide", which was commercialized in 2008, not only accurately targets and controls target pests, but is also very friendly to other organisms and ecological environments. Based on its "no residual toxicity" characteristics and other comprehensive physical and chemical properties, the Brighton (BCPC) World Plant Protection Conference awarded the "Most Innovative Chemistry Award" to "Glucosamine Benzoamide" in 2007.
