Natural Products In Crop Protection a 135-page Report from Hewin International, covering the
natural fungicide, insecticide, and herbicide markets, is the product of first-hand interviews plus in-depth
analyses of primary and secondary information sources. The Report estimates the size of the
current market for natural crop protection products and then provides forecasts for growth and
market penetration of new and emerging technologies. In particular, the Report highlights forth-coming
crop protection strategies that will be made possible by advances in molecular biology. This
one volume introduces readers to the key players behind developing technologies and the research
and development at nearly thirty leading companies. Specifically, developments such as transgenic
corn, BollGard cotton and Startlink Cotton are analyzed, and market share projections set forth for
each. Full contact information is provided to help readers explore unique and potentially lucrative
licensing, partnering, and co-development opportunities.
The agrochemical market is a mature market that is increasing at a rate of about 1.3% annually.
Nevertheless, the level of pest, disease, and weed control that is being achieved is superior to
anything that has existed before. New compounds continue to be introduced and new strategies for
control are being conceived. Included in these are Integrated Crop Management (ICM) schemes,
“non-cidal” approaches, and the use of naturally based products.
