biopesticide industry have occurred. In addition, the largest agrochemical firms, e.g.,
Bayer CropScience and Syngenta have turned to the biopesticide market investing
into the corresponding research, production capacities, and distribution as well as the
acquisitions of smaller producers of biopestides.
This biopesticide industry consolidation could lead to a new round of commercial
and academic research on novel biopesticides and biostimulants directly connected
to cost-effective production, established worldwide distribution and market as well
as full customer support, which are the essential prerequisites for a significant
increase of the share of these eco-friendly biological agents at the expense of
chemical agents.
