DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Agriculture Inoculants Market – Forecasts from 2021 to 2026” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The agriculture inoculants market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.58% over the analysed period to reach a market size of US$1,365.856 million in 2026 from US$874.329 million in 2019.
Inoculants refer to weak disease agents that are introduced in the body of the host, to build immunity against that disease-causing agent. The agricultural inoculants which contain Rhizobium bacteria are known as nitrogen inoculants. Since these bacteria are not naturally mobile in the soil, it is crucial to add the required amount of Rhizobium to ensure successful nodulation. These also convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be consumed by plants. Further, there is a different strain of Rhizobium for different plants, which cannot be used interchangeably. With the growing world population, which is soon to reach 9 billion by end of 2050, food availability will become a major concern. Further, with decreasing arable land and urbanization, it has become crucial to increase yields along with conserving the plant. Agriculture Inoculant methods provide required nutrition to the plants. It also stimulates hormonal production in plants leading to plant growth.
Legumes to hold a significant share in the market.
Legumes such as pulses, peas, chick-peas, peanuts, lentils, and beans are predicted to have a significant market share of the agriculture inoculant market. This is because an inoculant may not be effective in more than one plant. For instance, the Rhizobium stain’s success rate differs from the different plant types it is paired with. A stain that succeeds in the production of nodules in lentils and peas, may fail when paired with beans. Pulses, in particular, require a high amount of nitrogen to become protein-rich post-production.
