Chemicals for Grain Production and Protection

Most modern agriculture depends on a range of chemical products to ensure that production is economic and sustainable. The chemicals may be broadly classified as fertilizers and biocides. Fertilizers include major and minor plant nutrients and trace elements. Biocides are used to remove or control weeds, animals, and fungi that would destroy crops or reduce yields. It is essential that these chemicals are used appropriately to reduce risks to the environment, consumers, workers, and unnecessary costs.
