United states is one of the major consumers of biostimulant in North America . Biostimulan ts are relatively less popular. However the United States with its highly evolved agricultural sector has been adapting to the natural and organic way of farming. Hence, the region is witnessing induced consumption of biostimulants.  Over the years, change in various factors such as total area under cultivation, price of the product, and crops cultivated have been influencing the market pattern of biostimulants in the country. The use of biostimulants for fruits, vegetables, cereals, and pulses is growing strongly owing to changing consumption patterns of fruits and vegetables without the risk of pesticide residues and with increased nutritional value.

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.
