Advantages of using Agrochemicals
03 Sep, 2016 12:55 PM
Agrochemicals / pesticides are used to improve soil and crop conditions in agriculture. They include herbicides, fungicides, nematicides, some synthetic fertilisers and hormones, as well as other growth agents.
As a result of using agrichemicals, horticulturists have developed genetically engineered cultivars to work with specific agrichemicals to provide maximum yields. While this results somewhat in the loss of regional variations in colour, it has also helped to develop industry production standards for more consistent quality.
Below are the advantages of using Agrochemicals:
• Increase food production – Crop protection technologies allow producers to increase crop yields and efficiency of food production processes. Up to 40 percent of the world’s potential crop production is already lost annually because of the effects of weeds, pests and diseases, and this would be doubled if existing pesticide uses were abandoned.
• Decrease the cost of food – Without crop protection chemicals, food production would decline, many fruits and vegetables would be in short supply and prices would rise. Helping to keep food prices in check for the consumer is another large benefit of pesticides.
• Consumer benefits – Pesticides allow consumers to consume high-quality produce that is free of insect blemishes and contamination. Crop protection chemicals that reduce and, in some cases, eliminate, insect damage, allow the consumer to purchase high-quality produce free of insect fragments, whilst also causing very little harm to human life.
