FERTECON Biofertilizers 2016

ReportsWorldwide has announced the addition of a new report title FERTECON Biofertilizers 2016 to its growing collection of premium market research reports.

This new Fertecon report fully covers the main types of biofertilizers – nitrogen fixers; phosphate solubilizers and mobilizers.

The global inoculant companies, markets, sales and distribution channels are copiously detailed for this fast-growing segment, especially for Brazil; Argentina; the United States; and Asia.

The report further covers the main advantages and benefits of biofertilizers, research & development; formulation; and the current regulatory situation.

Naturally occurring substances and plant extracts are the next largest sector in terms of sales. Many products in this group are used against greenhouse pests, and have the advantage of not requiring the establishment of maximum residue limits or pre-harvest intervals.

Pheromones are the next major sector and are used to control fruit pests. Japan is a global leader in the production of pheromones.
Sales of microbial-based bioinsecticides are dominated by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) for use against lepidopteran pests, although sales growth has been held back by severe competition from chemical pesticides and high prices for farmers.

The most popular microbial fungicide products are based on Bacillus subtilis, and used to control powdery mildew and grey mould in greenhouse crops.
