Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2014 -- Agricultural Enzymes Market by Type (Carbohydrase, Lipase, Protease, Polymerase & Nuclease), by Application (Fertility, Growth, & Control Products), by Crop Type, & by Geography - Global Trends & Forecast to 2018

Agricultural enzymes play an important role in maintaining soil health. The enzymatic activity in soil is derived from cell-associated or free enzymes. A balance of chemical, physical, and biological components contributes to maintaining soil health. Healthy soil keeps the eco-system intact and helps crops recover from adverse conditions like pest infestation, drought, climate change, and pollution
Enzymes are promoters of vital chemical activity, inducing important transformations, and hence play an important role in the growth of cereals & grains, fruits & vegetables and oilseeds & pulses. Thus, agricultural enzymes have become increasingly important, not simply because they affect the process, but also because they alter the quality of the end-product. These enzymes help in the humification process of plant residues and aid the sprouting and rooting process in the initial development stages. They improve crops' resistance to water stress and improve their assimilation of nutrients.
