The United States nematicides market is majorly dominated by fumigant type nematicides, cornering 44.2% share in the overall nematicide market in 2018. For instance, California, one of the largest markets for nematicides, has been widely applying soil fumigants such as sodium tetrathio to treat nematodes present in vineyards across the state. Fruits and Vegetables were estimated to have the major chunk of share by way of application in the United States nematicide market. The increasing yield losses in tomatoes has led to the extensive use of root-knot nematodes and sting nematodes to mitigate the blighting of crops by nematode attacks. Furthermore, soil fumigation is a well-applied method on US farm fields, while the usage of non-fumigant nematicides is limited across the country. Increasing use of nematicides on vegetables, growing need for higher agricultural productivity and growing, and the advent of bio-nematicides is expected to stipulate the market growth. However, restriction on the usage of chemical/synthetic products, and increasing research and development costs are the likely factors restraining the growth of the market.

The rising demand for animal products in the US commodity segment and the higher prices in the international markets are encouraging farmers to buy forage seeds.  High-yielding cattle mainly includes black angus, charolais, hereford, simmental, and holstein. They require a specific nutritional diet to deliver the required yield. For instance, when the black angus cows are lactating, they need 50% more feed than usual, and need calcium and other nutrients in their diet. During winter, they also need more food to stay warm and to increase their body fat. Increased prices for cattle meat amass high milk-yielding attributes of these breeds attract farmers who prefer to keep them as the primary option.
