The application prospect of plant pesticide is broad
Botanical pesticides, also known as botanical pesticides, are biopesticides that use the active substances extracted from plants with herbicidal, antibacterial and insecticidal effects through indirect processing or direct use. Plant source pesticides are mainly composed of C, H, O and other elements, and the active ingredients are mostly natural substances, which have the characteristics of fast degradation, good environmental compatibility, low residue, etc., in line with the current trend of environmental protection development, and the market demand continues to grow.
According to the "2022-2027 China Plant source pesticide Industry Market in-depth research and Development prospects Forecast Report" released by the New Thinking Industry Research Center, China is the world's pesticide production and use of large countries, chemical pesticides are still the mainstream products in the market, biopesticides accounted for less than 12.5% of the total pesticide, far below the international average level. However, biopesticides are supported by national policies, and in line with the current trend of environmental protection consumption, its market growth is fast, and the future biopesticides have broad development prospects and space. Plant derived pesticide is a kind of biological pesticide, which also has broad development prospects in the future.
There are a wide variety of plant pesticides, including plant insecticides, plant fungicides, plant acaricides, plant hormones, etc. Subdivided products include matrine, veratrine, pyrethrin, picrosin, veratrine, neem, matrine, eugenol, carvacrol, catechin and so on.
The insecticidal method of plant pesticide is unique, and its action mode and mechanism include toxic action, anti-feeding action, avoidance action, anesthetic action, inhibiting growth and development action. At present, the research of plant-derived pesticides mainly involves the research of effective components, the research of plant resources, the establishment of quality control standard system, the research of application technology, environmental toxicology research and preparation processing.
Relying on rich natural resources and increasing technical level, China has made good achievements in the research of plant-derived pesticides. Industry analysts said that plant-derived pesticides are environmentally friendly.
