Soil Fumigant Market Began to Phase in New Regulations for Soil Fumigant Applications

Soil fumigant market is a preplant chemical treatment of soil, using a pesticides product that converts to form a volatile gas. The gas is able to diffuse through open pore space throughout the soil to provide soil borne pest and disease control.

All the fumigants are phototoxic to plants and the fumigants gases must dissipate from soil, usually from a few days to a month, before seeding or transplanting can occur without risk of crop injury. They are used globally on a wide range of annual and perennial crops, and can be used alone or in combination to control wide range of soil inhabiting pest species including insects, nematodes, fungi, and weeds.

Soil fumigant market are commonly used in high value cropping systems to protect investment in crops wherever fumigant pesticides pressure is so more that it would be technically or economically unfeasible to grow a crop without the use of fumigant. Soil solution market fuels gases, however, these moves from the soil to the air to the application site and may shift off site at concentration that yield adverse health effects in people from hours to days after applications. These health effects range from mild and flexible irritation to more simple and permanent effects, depending on the fumigant and the level of exposure.  Fumigation liquid is one of the types of fumigant which is also said as volatile ingredient, when enclosed in a normal container and therefore are not formulated under pressure.

Soil fumigant market is segmented into warehouse and soil development. Out of this warehouse segment holds a greater market share because of the pressing need to bring down post-harvest losses of stored crops. Warehouse fumigation essentially entails fumigating crops in packed or unpacked conditions. Asia-Pacific is the leading in the market, due to increasing population, and growing demand for food. North America and Europe are respective regions after Asia-Pacific market. Among all the type of soil fumigant, methyl bromide has the highest market share in global soil fumigation products market.
