Environmental pesticides market warming

Accelerating the elimination of highly toxic and high-risk pesticides, and promoting the popularization of high-efficiency and low-toxicity safety and environmental protection pesticides are imperative and in line with the green sustainable development as the background for the future main direction. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture has started a subsidy policy for low-toxic pesticides to guide farmers to reduce the use of highly toxic pesticides. All provinces and cities have also introduced policies to subsidize low-toxicity and low-residue pesticides. With favorable policies, China’s demand for three types of pesticides is generally good, and this year it will maintain a steady growth.

Insecticides: protagonists of high-efficiency, low-toxicity varieties

Since some organic phosphorus and carbamate insecticides degrade slowly after use, they can easily destroy soil and water bodies. Therefore, there are many provinces and cities in the country that stipulate that from January 1 this year, they include omethoate and acetomethamine. The 20 highly toxic and high residue pesticides including phosphorus will be withdrawn from the market and replaced by biological or low-toxic chemical pesticides.

According to the prediction of experts, in 2014, the major pests and diseases of crops in our country maintained a re-emergence status, with an accumulated area of ​​approximately 5.5 billion mu. In some areas, there is a high possibility of scale attack. The increase in prevention and treatment pressure is expected to stimulate the domestic market demand. Under the influence of factors such as warm winter, the demand for insecticides in domestic crops will maintain a certain amount. In addition to the rare opportunities faced by large-tonnage pesticides, green pest control and prevention of crop pests and diseases will have good opportunities for development.

According to the forecast of the occurrence trend of major rice diseases and insect pests in China, the use of drugs such as pymetrozine and nitenpyram for the control of rice planthoppers, and the control of rice rice leaffolders such as chlorantraniliprole, indoxacarb, and Bacillus thuringiensis, as well as the control of rice II The use of chemical drugs such as chlorantranbenzamide, carbofuran, triazophos, etc., will be favored by the market for high-efficiency, low-toxicity, low-residue, safe and environment-friendly formulations. In addition, some unique personalized products will have a good performance opportunity. With the increase in the popularization of rice seed dressings, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, thiocarbamate, and other seed coating agents and dry seed dressings will be introduced to the market, thiodicarb, spinosad, and sexual attraction. Agents and other efficient and quick-to-use antimony control agents will also be loved by rice farmers.

Fungicide: Increased demand for rice medicine

Experts predict that the domestic demand for fungicide market this year will be 84,000 tons. In recent years, the planting area of ​​high-quality rice in various provinces has been continuously expanding, but high-quality rice is generally susceptible varieties, susceptible to rice smut, rice blast disease and other diseases, rice disease increased to promote the market demand for fungicides increased. The varieties that are in great demand this year are: copper sulphate, carbendazim, mangosulfan, thiophanate-methyl, tricyclazole, chlorothalonil, Jinggangmycin, triadimefon and thiram. The varieties that have risen by more than 50% include cyanocastrobin, trifloxystrobin, ketoxacin, fenprodil, hexaconazole, syringa, and azoxystrobin.

Rice bactericide has always been a must for manufacturers, taking sheath blight medicine as an example, the disease occurs in an area of ​​290 million mu, the amount of drugs in 1 billion. The previous preferred agent was Jinggangmycin, and it occupied the market for a long time. Since the use of drugs has declined for more than 30 years, the area used has also been reduced to about 100 million mu. In recent years, triazole bactericides such as hexaconazole and tebuconazole have begun to play an important role in the control of rice sheath blight. At the same time, the multinational company's benzopropiconazole (Ai Miao) also entered the domestic market and was divided into large cakes for rice sheath blight control. In recent years, azoxystrobin from Syngenta and thiadiamide from Nissan Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. have risen in the rice germicide market, and the market share has continued to expand. After the expiration of the azoxystrobin and thiadiamide patents, it has become a hot spot for Chinese enterprises. In the future, more domestic brands with this component will enter the market.

Herbicides: Strong demand growth

In recent years, the herbicide market has seen the most significant increase compared to pesticides and fungicides. In 2013, the total output of herbicides in China was 186,300 tons, an increase of 14.41% over the previous year, accounting for 55.2% of the total output of chemical pesticides of the current period.

The huge demand and good export situation have provided guarantees for the growth of the herbicide production enterprises in China. Herbicides will still have broad development prospects in 2014. It is estimated that the demand for herbicides in 2014 will be 109,000 tons, an increase of 9%. This year, sulfonylurea tribenuron, nicosulfuron, sulfosulfuron, bensulfuron, amides acetochlor, alachlor, metolachlor, butachlor, amino acids grass Demand for glyphosate, glufosinate, and paraquat increased significantly.

In March and April of this year, glyphosate entered the beginning of the sales season. Downstream buyers began to take orders for the upcoming peak season and actively placed orders. Coupled with the increasing number of domestic and foreign GM crops, the demand for glyphosate will continue to expand. With the increasing willingness of manufacturers to raise prices, the price of glyphosate will gradually run in small steps. The increase is the main trend.
