BIOFUNGICIDES MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized Dry Formulation, Liquid Formulation.

• Dry Formulation: Biofungicides that are in the form of powders and granules for instance, ease the process of storage and have a longer shelf life compared to liquid formulations. They are sometimes diluted with water prior to use, to allow for easy application. This type is especially beneficial in vast farming businesses since it is steady and can be moved from one place to the other.

• Liquid Formulation: Liquid formulation biofungicides can be made in ready to use formulation or concentrate so that it may be evenly applied and easily absorbed in the plant. They are chosen due to the possibility to use them in targeted infections combat and their efficiency. This type is suitable for measuring correct quantity to apply, ensuring that crops are protected in different farming environments.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Fruits & Vegetables, Grains & Oilseeds, Others.

• Fruits & Vegetables: Biofungicides have a significant role to play in guaranteeing protection for fungal diseases and at the same time produce fruits and vegetables which are free from any form of residue. They assist in converting quality yields and they enhance shelf life; thus, they belong to both, organic and normal farming methods.

• Grains & Oilseeds: In grains and oilseeds, biofungicides play the role of controlling both soil-borne and foliar fungal diseases to make crop healthier and produce more yields. Their use means a limitation of the application of chemical fungicide, improvement of the quality of soil, and food safety for consumers.

• Others: Biofungicides are also applied in other streams of agriculture such as horticulture, landscaping and plantation industries. They assist in containing several types of fungal diseases that are of importance to the general health and looks of these plants, and also to the theory of pest control.
