Crop protection chemicals can be classified as insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Key technologies for producing these chemicals include synthetic pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, organophosphorus compounds, sulfonyl ureas, triketone herbicides, FOP herbicides, imidazolinones, amide herbicides, triazole fungicides, anilide fungicides, and imidazole fungicides. Production focuses on safer intermediates and moving to more continuous processes while implementing green chemistry principles like solvent recycling.
