Summary
This report gives an in-depth analysis of crop
protection industry in India. Crop protection is
the science and practice of managing plant
diseases, weeds and other pests (both vertebrate
and invertebrate) that damage agricultural crops
and forestry. Agricultural crops include field
crops (maize, wheat, rice, etc.), vegetable crops
(potatoes, cabbages, etc.) and fruits. The crops
in field are exposed to many factors. Insects,
birds, rodents, bacteria, etc may damage the crop
plants. Crop protection encompasses
Pesticide-based approaches such as herbicides,
insecticides and fungicides. While farmers have
been doing pest management since the onset of
agricultural production, the discovery of the
pesticidal properties of synthetic chemicals in
the middle of the 20th century has transformed
agriculture .

Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane (DDT) is
perhaps the best known chemical pesticide.DDT was
discovered as an insecticide in 1939 and was used
extensively in agriculture, and for public health
program .Subsequently, other insecticides,
herbicides, and fungicides were developed. Their
large-scale use started in farming in
industrialized countries, resulting in large
increases in production and/or cost savings on
labor. The first Green Revolution, which began in
the 1960s, made high yielding crop varieties
available to developing countries, especially in
Asia. Exploitation of the production potential of
these varieties stimulated the use of fertilizer
and pesticides. This dynamic led to large
increases in food production in many countries
but also to growing pesticide use.

India is the fourth largest producer of
agrochemicals globally, after United States,
Japan and China. The Crop protection industry is
a significant industry for the Indian economy.
The Indian crop protection market grew with a
CAGR of 4.46 between 2010 to 2015 Indias
pesticides consumption is one of the lowest in
the world with per hectare consumption of just
0.60 Kg compared to UK (5 Kg/ha) and Japan (12
Kg/ha). In India, paddy accounts for the maximum
share of pesticide consumption, around 29,
followed by cotton 19. Indian population is
increasing and the per capita size of land
decreasing, the use of pesticides in India has to
improve further. Besides increasing in domestic
consumption, the exports by the Indian Crop
protection Industry can be doubled in the in
coming years if proper strategies and
sophisticated technologies are adopted by the
industry.

The Indian market will slowly see increased
penetration of crop protection products, which
will lead to higher yields. The industry is
seeing various strategic alliances between the
major players regarding research and development
to come up with new molecules, as the cost is
huge joining hands enables the market players to
remain cost competitive. The competition will be
slowly intensified, as the increasing awareness
will generate the demand.
