Miticides Market by form, source, mode of application, crop type, and region Forecast to 2023

Mites Market are small arthropods that attack crops. The majority of mites are beneficial to the environment such as predatory mites which include Phystoseiulus, Amplyeius, and Agistemus. However, mites such as the two-spotted spider mite, banks grass mite, and red mites pose a threat to crops. Two-spotted mites attack cotton, soybean canola, lucerne, peanut, mung bean, navy bean, and azuki bean. Heavy infestations will result in leaf desiccation, leaf drop, and yield loss. Miticides play an important role in killing and controlling the growth of mites on plants. To meet the growing demand for miticides, companies are incorporating these products into their portfolios. For instance, on 22 February 2017, OHP Inc. introduced a miticide under the brand name Notavo Ovicide for ornamental crops to provide long-term control of eggs and immature stages of two-spotted spider mites and other mites. On 17 February 2017, Gowan USA introduced a miticide/insecticide under the brand Nexter that helps knockdown and control broad mites, rust mites, pear psylla, aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and leafhopper nymphs.
Increasing awareness about the advantages of miticides in maximizing overall yield by decreasing losses is primarily driving the growth of the global miticides market. This growth is also influenced by research and development of miticides such as usage in a broad range of crops, targeted knockdown of all life stages of mites with no toxicity to beneficial insects (predatory mites and pollinators), compatibility with integrated pest management (IPM) programs, long residual control, nature-based miticides, and cost-effectiveness. Quick action and easy handling are also boosting the growth of the product market. The US Food Quality and Protection Act restricts the use of chemical miticides above the recommended amount due to their harmful effects on pollinators, birds, and beneficial mites.  Excessive use can lead to high levels of residue, which is expected to hamper the growth of the product market to some extent during the forecast period

Foliar Spray Market by fertilizer type, application, and region Forecast to 2023

Foliar spray is the process of applying liquid fertilizers in a spray form directly on to plant leaves. The stomata on plant leaves help absorb nutrients from the foliar spray. The response of plants to foliar nutrients is more rapid than in the case of soil application. Foliar applications are often timed to coincide with specific growth stages of plants such as flowering and fruiting, recovery from transplant shock, hail damage, or other extreme weather effects. Foliar sprays are especially beneficial when environmental conditions, such as high soil pH, excess moisture, and cold temperatures, limit the intake of nutrients from the roots. Foliar sprays also increase plant yield and resistance to diseases and insects, improve drought tolerance, and enhance crop quality.
Foliar spray fertilizers find application in horticultural crops, field crops, and turfs and ornamentals, among others. Liquid fertilizers used in foliar spray can be nitrogenous (N), phosphorus-based (P), potassium-based (K), mixed, or micronutrients.
The limitations of foliar spray such as dosage restrictions, phytotoxicity, and high costs may hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
