According to the research report “Herbicide Market in China of Q1 2017”,
China’s herbicides are classified in several ways that include weed control
spectrum, labelled crop usage, chemical families, mode of action,
application timing/ method, and others. The mode of action of the
herbicides are they should adequately contact plants, absorbed by plants,
move within the plants to the site of action without being deactivated, and
finally reach toxic levels at the site of action. Majority of the herbicides are
grouped under their mode of action. A large number of herbicides are
available in China’s markets which have similar chemical properties and
herbicidal activity. With the growing population there is more demand for
agricultural products to feed the growing population. Therefore, the use of
herbicides increases with the increase in the cultivation of crops.
