Abstract
The phrase agrochemical, often known as agrichemical, refers to any
chemical product or pesticide used in agriculture. Herbicides, fungicides,
and insecticides are among them, as are synthetic fertilisers, hormones,
and soil conditioners. Agrochemicals play a major part in current
industrialised and intensive farming practises, allowing crops to flourish on
previously uncultivated area and enhancing soil productivity.
Since the invention of synthetic fertilisers, agrochemicals have gone a long
way, and the need to better understand and improve both the
agrochemical manufacturing process and the formulation make-up of
agrochemicals is becoming increasingly obvious.
Sumerian farmers used Sulphur (S) compounds to reduce bug
populations and the risk of pest-related starvation around 2500 B.C.,
which is the oldest documented usage of agrochemicals. P
]esticide methods have considerably improved as synthetic chemical
manufacturing has progressed to meet the hugely rising worldwide
population and the resulting increases in food consumption. Even with
the proper use of pesticides, it is estimated that up to 40% of the world's
crops are ruined by plant pests and diseases.
