In agricultural production, various fungicides and bacteriostats are often used. Many farmers can't tell the difference between them. What was the difference between them before? Here is a detailed introduction to the difference between bactericide and bacteriostat.
1, mode of action
Bacteriostats work by inhibiting bacterial reproduction. Bactericide destroys the cell structure of bacteria, leading to the death of bacteria. One is to kill bacteria, the other is to inhibit growth.
2, the field of use
Because of its high safety and good antibacterial effect, antibacterial agents are widely used in antibacterial, mildew-proof, disinfection and many other fields, and are ideal antibacterial agents for gynecological lotions, wet wipes, sanitary napkins, oral products, hand sanitizers, fresh-keeping disinfection of fruits and vegetables, environmental disinfection and so on. Bactericide can control or kill microorganisms, bacteria, fungi and algae in water system. The main fields are agricultural fungicides and industrial fungicides.
3. Composition differences
Bacteriostats are mainly natural plant components that inhibit bacterial reproduction, while fungicides mainly kill bacteria through their chemical components.
Second, what about the development of fungicides?
At present, the market speed of effective components of pesticides is obviously slower than in the past, among which the decline speed of herbicides is the most obvious, and pesticides have also declined to a certain extent, and the market launch of new fungicides is very strong, especially in recent years.
Reasons for promising prospects of global fungicides production and application;
1, the degree of agricultural intensification has been continuously strengthened.
2. The frequent occurrence of extreme weather has stimulated the demand of bactericide market.
3. The demand for fungicides in the non-pesticide field continues to grow at a high speed, with a large profit margin.
4. Some patents of high-efficiency fungicides will expire during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period.
5. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the state will continue to encourage scientific and technological innovation, and constantly develop varieties of fungicides with independent intellectual property rights and put them on the market.
6. The growing area of genetically modified crops will have a great negative impact on pesticides and herbicides, but little impact on fungicides.
