Nothing can be more disheartening for a farmer if a large part of production produced by him gets destroyed by weeds, insects and pests. Hence it is very important that adequate precautions are taken by the farmers so that the disaster can be prevented. With the increase in population the demand for food is also growing. In such scenario unless pests are controlled, there will be great scarcity of food in future.

The solution to the problem of pests and insects lie in applying agrochemical products such as insecticides and pesticides produced by agrochemical companies in India. Agrochemical products refer to substances or products that are actively used in managing the agriculture ecosystem. Some of the major benefits of using agrochemical products are:

  • The primary benefit of agrochemical products is it leads to increase in crop production. Agrochemical products also known by the name crop protection products, play a major role to inhibit the attacks of fungi, pests, diseases, weeds and other undesirable pests which are considered as threats to crop production.

  • Agrochemical products produced by agrochemical companies in India indirectly results in alleviating poverty as it results in improving agricultural productivity.

  • Many a times even though the crops are not infected by pests and insects the production is not much or the quality of product produced is not good. In such scenario also agrochemical products can be used to boost production as well as improve on the quality of the products.

  • Farmers are able to grow more food on the same land with the use of agrochemical products. This helps in keeping the food more affordable.

  • Pesticides along with killing pests and insects also help in reducing waterborne and insect transmitted disease such as Lyme disease, malaria and so on and thus enhance human health by preventing disease outbreaks through control of insect and rodent populations.

  • Agrochemical products have helped the farmers in some part of the world to grow two or three crops a year. Most of such countries have become major producers of such crops and export in those countries with shorter growing season. This has helped in improving economy in one country and combating scarcity of food in another.

There are various types of agrochemical products such as insecticides, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Though they are made available using different names, the purpose is almost the same. These products can again be classified into four sections such as organic pesticides, inorganic pesticides, post emergent and pre emergent herbicides.

It is very essential that the user understands how to apply agrochemical products properly as lack of knowledge can lead to serious problem not only for the user as well to the environment. Strict instruction should be followed with respect to its usage so that no damage is incurred and the product can be utilized properly for imparting benefits to the crops. Each product has specific application that is clearly indicated in the label and the person can go through it before applying the same so as to ensure maximum benefit.
