Abstract
The agrochemical sector comprises numerous products, most of which are chemically based, used to control a variety of weeds, insect pests, and diseases in crops. Many of these products also have nonagronomic applications, including home and garden, forestry, and industrial uses. For the purposes of this chapter, we define the agrochemical sector as including all herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators sold in crop and noncrop markets.
