As the demand for specialty fungicides grows, the demand for mancozeb is expected to increase in the next few years. Insecticides (such as manganese, manganese, zinc) only start to work when they come into contact with target parts of vegetable and fruit crops, ornamental plants and turf. Since agriculture is the backbone of some emerging and developed economies, threats to plants and crops may weaken the main source of income for many people. Therefore, problems related to fungi and pests must be resolved.
Due to factors such as non-selectivity and effectiveness, the demand for mancozeb is relatively high compared to any other product, and the price is low. In addition, compared with other non-selective fungicides on the market, Mancob is also the least resistant. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to become a major consumer of mancozeb because it is the home of several emerging countries whose economies mainly rely on agriculture. The rising risk of crop failure has further triggered the global consumption of mancozeb.
Cream players working in the global mancozeb market are focusing on functional marketing strategies to expand their customer base. Some of these practices include research and development activities for better and more advanced products as well as acquisitions, mergers and other agreements to remain competitive in the global market. However, due to the protection of fungi, biological and organic practices may hinder the development of the global mango market.
As the name suggests, Mancozeb is a combined fungicide made of maneb (maneb) and zinc (zineb). The mixture of these two organic functional groups makes this fungicide widely used in various crops. The mode of action of mancozeb fungicides is non-systematic, multi-site protection, and only works when it comes into contact with the target crop. Once the fungicide attacks multiple sites in fungal cells, it will inactivate amino acids and several growth enzymes, and disrupt activities such as respiration, lipid metabolism, and reproduction.
Broad-spectrum fungicides can be used as an independent treatment method to control fungal diseases on various vegetables, fruits, crops and nuts, such as leaf spot, anthracnose, downy mildew, rot and rust. The fungicide can also be used in combination with several other fungicides to achieve specialized and better disease management effects.
