Agrochemistry

Designation (also agricultural chemistry) is a research and development branch of chemistry. However, it is also a large-scale industrial production sector that is dominated by huge multinational corporations such as BASF, Monsanto, Bayer, CropScience, DuPont, Syngenta and Makhteshim Agan. The world's food supply with a growing world population, decreasing arable land and increased demand for biofuels is only possible with agrochemical products such as fertilisers and pesticides.
