The US sulfentrazone-based herbicides market is expected to reach US$ 498.06 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.74% during the forecast period 2025-2033. The market is driven by the need for resistance management in row crops and turfgrass, as well as the adoption of precision agriculture and regulatory scrutiny. The herbicide is used in various crops such as soybeans, corn, sunflowers, and others, and its popularity is increasing due to its broad-spectrum efficacy and ability to control over 70 species of broadleaf weeds and sedges.
The market is also driven by the growing demand for sustainable agriculture, with many farmers adopting conservation tillage practices, which reduce the need for tilling and fuel consumption. The use of sulfentrazone in conservation tillage systems has been linked to improved soil health, water retention, and reduced erosion rates.
The top players in the market are Agrisel USA Inc., Alligare LLC, Albaugh LLC, AMGUARD Environmental Technologies, and others. The market is segmented based on form, functionality, application, and end-user. Key players are also focusing on integrating sulfentrazone into precision agriculture systems, developing smart herbicide formulations, and shifting towards sustainable and integrated weed management practices. However, the market faces challenges such as environmental concerns over sulfentrazone runoff and persistence, regulatory scrutiny, and potential impact on non-target plants and soil health.
