Agricultural microbial refers to the microorganisms used in agriculture to enhance crop productivity and yield quality. Bacteria, fungi, and viruses are a few microbes. Bacteria is one of the most commonly used microbial in agriculture products. They can boost the growth of the plant by improving access to supplements. Many microbes help decompose organic matter and recycle agricultural waste material. Also, they offer phosphorus, nitrogen, and other nutrients and provide benefits, including heat and drought tolerance and resistance to insects and plant diseases.
Based on crop type, the agriculture microbial market is segmented into cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, and others. The fruit and vegetables segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The market growth for the segment is attributed to the high remuneration factors associated with the crop and increased demand to provide essential nutrients effectively. The demand for organic fruits and vegetables has increased owing to rising consumer awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals.
