Drivers

Increasing Agricultural Activities Worldwide

• It is notable that growing agricultural activities globally also lead to the way where water bodies connected with irrigation systems experience difficulties caused by invasive aquatic weeds. Aquatic herbicides would be required in agriculture due to a need to guard against crop spoilage, efficiently maintain irrigation infrastructure as well as enhancing yields. Similarly, the increased awareness of environmental conservation, particularly in recreational waters, rivers and natural habitats, among others. Aquatic herbicides represent an effective approach of fighting invasive species while conserving biodiversity within lakes, ponds, and reservoirs.

Restraints

High Environmental Concerns Associated with Herbicide Usage

• The use of herbicides in an aquatic environment has some negative impacts on the environment, which is one of the major market constraints. Ecological apprehensions include the negative impact on non-target species, water quality, and general ecosystem health. While striving for the control of weed, authorities are subjected to increased regulatory scrutiny in order to safeguard the environment. However, regarding application precision, too much or wrong application of herbicides could increase potential negative externalities and result in undesired effects.
