Biorational Pesticides Market Research

by Global Market Research Analyst

The toxicity and environmental impact of pesticides differ. The term "biorational pesticides" refers to pest control materials that are relatively non-toxic to humans and have few adverse effects on the environment. According to the market database, certain biorationals are allowed on organic crops, but not all. Based on the active ingredient, some formulations or products may be approved for application in certified organic produce while others are not. A growing population is challenging global agriculture to maintain food production due to changes in insect attacks and climate conditions.

The biorational pesticide, also known as the latest generation of pesticides, contains natural components that pose no adverse impacts to the environment or beneficial organisms. These pesticides include Bacillus thuringiensis, neonicotinoids, avermectins, pyrroles, phenylpyrazoles, spinosyns, and various insect growth regulators. In addition to targeting a narrower range of pests, they also tend to have more specific modes of action. In humans, exposure to high levels of active ingredients and degradation of metabolites from residues on cereals and vegetables can adversely affect the endocrine system. As a result, pest control agents used in agriculture must comply with strict maximum residue levels (MRL). Several EU directives have gone into effect, resulting in the withdrawal of conventional pesticides from the region.

Recently, Mitsui & CO., Ltd completed the first stage of its acquisition of Belchim Crop Protection, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mitsui AgriScience International (MASI).

According to the market database, MASI aims to support sustainable food supply and the agricultural industry through science. It will benefit from the acquisition and create a sustainable, sizable, and unique crop protection business in Europe and beyond. Mitsui will begin collaboration between Belchim, MASI, and its European subsidiary Certis Europe BV, to capture synergies and realize this ambitious goal. To build a sustainable crop protection business in Europe, the company plans to build on the capabilities and success of both Belchim and Certis.
