Nematicides Market by Type, Application, and by Region - Global Trends & Forecast to 2020

Nematicides are used to eliminate plant-parasitic nematodes and are majorly delivered in two forms, namely, contact nematicides and fumigants. Contact nematicides are applied during the planting process whereas fumigants are applied to the soil few weeks before the planting process. Fumigants and contact application treatments are the most effective preventive measures taken against attacks to plant roots from nematodes.
Stringent regulations in many countries of North America and Europe have resulted in the restricted use of certain chemical nematicides. Moreover, many consumers are developing a perception that chemicals are harmful due to the growing awareness about the ill-effects of the use of chemical nematicides. These factors pose challenges for manufacturers of chemical nematicides and the regulations also restrict the use of such products. Market saturation also restricts further growth in the market and manufacturers are compelled to search for new market opportunities in developing economies such as Asia-Pacific and South America.
