ABSTRACT
India is the fourth largest producer of agrochemicals globally, after United States,
Japan and China. The agrochemicals industry is a significant industry for the Indian
economy. The Indian agrochemicals market grew at a rate of 11% from USD 1.22
billion in FY13 to an estimated USD 1.36 billion in FY14. India’s agrochemicals
consumption is one of the lowest in the world with per hectare consumption of just
0.58 Kg compared to the US (4.5 Kg/ha) and Japan (11 Kg/ha). Fungicides are biocidal
chemical compounds or biological organisms used to kill fungi or fungal spores. A
fungistatic inhibits their growth. Fungi can cause serious damage in agriculture,
resulting in critical losses of yield, quality, and profit. Fungicides are used both in
agriculture and to fight fungal infections in animals.
The study was conducted for Dhanuka Agritech Ltd. On “Market Potential and
Awareness of Different Fungicides for Control of Disease in Tomato in Anand
District”, with the following specific objectives, (i) To study the awareness of new
fungicides and disease complex for tomato crops, (ii) To study the use of fungicides
and their market potential in tomato crops. The study has covered middle Gujarat
consisting of 4 Talukas and 20 villages of Anand district selected through purposive
sampling method. Both primary and secondary data were used to achieve the stipulated
objectives of the study. Primary data were collected with the help of structured
schedule. Descriptive statistics and Garrett ranking was applied to achieve the
stipulated objectives of the study.
It was found that majority of farmers were marginal and small, crop grown in the region
were tomato, paddy, tobacco, pearl millet, wheat and vegetables. Major diseases found
in tomato crop were damping off, fusarium wilt, early blight, late blight, tomato mosaic
i
virus and leaf curl virus. According to most of the farmers, damping off and fusarium
wilt attack arrives at nursery stage while early blight, late blight, leaf curl virus and
tomato mosaic virus arrives after transplanting stage. It was noted that 54% used
fungicides twice, followed by 24% who used it one time only. Around 22% used
fungicides thrice per crop.
It was observed that 82 % of farmers were using chemical treatment, 10% use other
method and remaining 8% of farmer use biological method. It was found that 18% of
farmers use Antracol, 16% of farmers use Kocide, 13% of farmers use Dhanucop, 8%
of farmers use Index, 7% of farmers use Indofil z-78, 7 % of farmers use Nativo, 6%
of farmers use Avtar, 6 % of farmers use Galileo sensa and 4.5% farmers use Sprint
brands fungicides of different company.
In Anand districts it was found that 60% farmers responded that cost of treatment for
diseases control per acre was less than ₹ 650, 27% farmers responded that it was ₹
651-750 and remaining 13% farmers told that cost of diseases control per acre is
greater than ₹ 850. Cost of treatment was depends on the price of the different
fungicides. Out of surveyed farmers, it was found that fungicides of Bayer, Tata Rallis,
Du Pont, Nagarjuna, Indofil and BASF were preferred by farmers because of quality.
Farmers preferred fungicides of Dhanuka Agri-tech pvt ltd because of package size,
price and its quality.
It was found respondents were used fungicides of Dhanuka Agritech, Krishi rasayan,
Insecticide India, Nagarjuna, Bharat insecticide, Crystal crop care, Bayar, BSF,
Syngenta, Monsanto, UPL, DuPont, Gujarat agro, Rallis Agro, Megmani organic ltd,
Pesticide India, Cheminova, and Garda chemicals.
Data of analysis revealed that dealers deal with antracol, aliette, Melodi, Navito, Sectin
of bayer, Kasu-B, Sixer, Cursor, Dhanucop of Dhanuka, Kocide, Curzet (powder),
Equation Pro, Galileo Sensa of Du Pont, Index, Combi Plus, Mass Plus, Sivic of
Nagarjuna and Blitox, Ishaan, Master, Samarth, Sultaf of Tata Rallis.
Total area under tomato crop in anand district was 1867 acre. Average quantity
required per acre was as per above table and price was also mentioned in table. Thus,
₹. 2498300 is market potentiality in Anand district in tomato crop.
