Agriculture
The agriculture industry relies on a variety of chemicals to enhance crop yield, protect plants from pests and diseases, and improve overall agricultural productivity. These chemicals can be broadly categorized into fertilizers, pesticides, and agrochemicals. Here are some key components in each category
- Fertilizers
Nitrogenous Fertilizers: Urea, Ammonium sulfate, Ammonium phosphate.
Phosphatic Fertilizers: Single Super Phosphate (SSP), Triple Super Phosphate (TSP), Diammonium Phosphate (DAP).
Potassic Fertilizers: Potassium chloride, Potassium sulfate.
Complex Fertilizers: NPK combinations (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium).
Organic Fertilizers: Manure, Compost, Vermicompost.
- Pesticides
Insecticides: Chlorpyrifos, Imidacloprid, Malathion, Neem-based products.
Herbicides: Glyphosate, 2,4-D, Paraquat.
Fungicides: Mancozeb, Carbendazim, Copper-based fungicides.
Rodenticides: Zinc phosphide, Bromadiolone.
- Agrochemicals
Plant Growth Regulators: Gibberellic acid, Auxins, Cytokinins.
Soil Conditioners: Gypsum, Lime, Humic acids.
Biopesticides: Bio-fungicides, Bio-insecticides, Bio-nematicides. - Adjuvants
Surfactants, Spreaders, Stickers.
- Specialty Chemicals
Micro-nutrients: Zinc, Iron, Boron, Manganese.
Agro Surfactants: Used in formulations to improve the spread and adhesion of pesticides. - Seed Treatment Chemicals
Fungicidal Seed Treatments: Thiram, Captan, Metalaxyl.
Insecticidal Seed Treatments: Clothianidin, Thiamethoxam.
- Organic Farming Inputs
Bio-fertilizers: Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria.
Organic Pesticides: Neem-based products, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).
