    cn Chinese website: According to the BIP (Business Intelligence Panel) survey report recently released by consulting firm Spark Smarter Decisions , Brazil's 2020-2021 production year biological input market ( biological pesticides and biological inoculants) grows to 1.
    7 billion reais (US$314.
    29 million), compared with R$1.
    235 billion in the 2019-2020 production year, sales of biological pesticides and biological inoculants increased by 37%
    .
     
    According to Spark's survey, these two categories together accounted for 3% of the total sales of plant protection products
    .
    The transaction value of the entire plant protection product market reached 53.
    83 billion reais, an increase of 16% compared with the 46.
    559 billion reais of the previous production year
    .

     
    Among biological pesticides, the sales of biological nematicides topped the list, accounting for 43% (724 million reais)
    .
    In second place is biological pesticides, accounting for 25% (417 million reais), followed by biological fungicides, accounting for 9% (159 million reais)
    .
    The transaction value of such products specifically for the control of diseases and insect pests reached 1.
    3 billion reais, which was 37% higher than the calculated amount for the 2019-2020 production year (948 million reais)
    .
     
      In addition, the transaction volume of biological inoculants was 393 million reais, accounting for 23% of the biological market.
    Compared with the 2019-2020 production year, the sales of biological inoculants also increased by 37% (287 million reais)
    .
     
      Lucas Alves, Spark project coordinator, said that because inoculants help plants grow and develop, they are not considered as plant protection products
    .
    He emphasized: "In the production management of growers, the application of inoculants is gradually increasing
    .
    "
     
      Spark pointed out in the report that 21% of soybean crops (approximately 7.
    9 million hectares) were treated with biopesticides, divided by crops and planting areas , in addition to 50% of sugarcane (4.
    5 million hectares) and 67% of cotton (85.
    7 hectares).
    10,000 hectares) and 13% off-season corn (1.
    89 million hectares)
    .
     
      Among other crops with low economic weight included in the assessment, biodefense products cover 19% of the bean crop area (145,000 hectares), 5% of coffee (102,000 hectares), and 4% of summer maize (144,000 hectares).
    ), 22% tomatoes (7700 hectares), 7% potatoes (6160 hectares)
    .
     
      Spark also pointed out in the report that out-of-season maize jumped from 5% to 13%, and cotton jumped from 28% to 67% of the crop area treated with biodefense products in the 2020-2021 production year
    .
    Lucas Alves said: "During the 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 production years, the annual growth rate of the biological solutions market reached 40%
    .
    This data shows that biodefense products have become an important management tool for major crops
    .
    Data from BIP Biologics We have reason to believe that these technologies will have huge growth potential between now and the next few years
    .
    "
     
      André Dias, managing partner of Spark, believes that a series of BIP Biologic 2020-21 studies have shown that the practice of incorporating biological inputs into the management plan of growers has become more and more common
    .
    "We have noticed that new technologies for various crops are emerging in an endless stream
    .
    Growers need to use pesticides with different modes of action, including chemical pesticides and biological pesticides, to control the resistance of fungi and insect pests to certain active ingredients, which is also conducive to improving biological The proportion of inputs," Dias concluded
    .
