As a consequence of the growing population worldwide, the demand for food and cereals has increased. However, agricultural production has not increased at a similar pace in response to the increasing population. Hence, it has become rather necessary to improve the crop yield worldwide. The market for herbicides, therefore, has been exhibiting steady growth over the past few years. Herbicides are chemicals used to prevent the growth of unwanted vegetation and weed that compete with crops for water and nutrients. The use of these chemicals is intended to help farmers maximize their crop yield.
