除草剤の市場の動向:

食糧生産に対する需要の増加

世界資源研究所によると、世界人口は2050年までに100億人に達すると予測されており、30億人を満足させるためには食糧生産を大幅に増加させる必要があります。また、この課題を克服するためには農業生産を増加させる必要があります。除草剤を使用しなければ、日照、水、養分などの重要な資源をめぐって作物と競合してしまう雑草を駆除することができるため、除草剤のはこのプロセスに不可欠です。これとともに、除草剤の散布戦略によって作物の収量が向上し、より効果的な農法が可能になります。畑から競合となる雑草がなくなれば、作物は資源を効率的に利用するようになり、1ヘクタールあたりの食糧生産量が向上します。このように、資源が限られている世界では、増大する食糧需要を満たし、持続可能な農法を奨励するために、除草剤が必要なのです。

遺伝子組み換え作物の導入

遺伝子組み換え作物とそれに対応する除草剤は、その相性の良さから広く利用されています。除草剤耐性と昆虫抵抗性を併せ持つ作物は、ISAAA(国際アグリバイオテクノロジー・アプリケーション取得サービス)によると6%増加し、現在では世界の全農地の45%にあたる8,510万ヘクタールを占めています。これは、農家が不耕起栽培や農薬の使用を控えるなど、生態系に優しい農法を好んでいることを示しています。除草剤耐性は、2018年まで綿花、大豆、キャノーラ、トウモロコシ、アルファルファなどの作物で最も一般的な特徴でした。これに加えて、遺伝子組み換え(GM)作物の統合は、特に農薬使用の動態に関して、現在の農業に革命をもたらしました。除草剤に耐えるように設計された遺伝子組み換え作物によって、農家は作物を危険にさらすことなく除草剤を使用することができます。さらに、バイオ作物の栽培面積は飛躍的に拡大し、世界全体で数百万ヘクタールに達しています。除草剤耐性という形質は、雑草防除を簡素化し、従来の除草方法にかかる労力とコストを削減することで、農業慣行の有効性を高める。その結果、遺伝子組換え種子とそれに適合する調査手法の需要が高まり、農業手法に大きな変化をもたらしています。

雑草抵抗性の増加

除草剤の使用拡大により、雑草抵抗性の事例が増加しています。これは、除草剤で処理された雑草の個体群が治療に耐えられるように適応し、やがて薬剤の効力が低下していく過程で起こる。さらに雑草科学は、除草剤耐性が数多く発生している農業管理の根本的な問題を指摘しています。例えば、除草剤抵抗性の雑草は、272種(双子葉植物155種、単子葉植物117種)を含む531のケースで世界的に発見されています。これらの雑草は168の異なる除草剤のに耐性を持ち、31の既知の作用部位のうち21をカバーしています。耐性株を倒すことができる新しい除草剤を開発する必要性は、このような抵抗性の増加によってもたらされています。高水準の農業生産を維持するためには、雑草抵抗性への対処が不可欠であり、そのためには、除草剤の創製と農業技術に絶え間ない革新と適応が求められます。例えば、2024年6月5日に米国雑草学会(WSSA)が発行した学術誌「Weed Technology」に最近掲載された研究では、トウモロコシ用の新規出芽前除草剤であるジフルフェニカンが、複数の除草剤に耐性を持つ水麻(Amaranthus tuberculatus)に対する統合雑草管理の効果的な要素として有望であることが明らかになりました。

Herbicides are essential to this process as they control weeds, which would otherwise compete with crops for vital resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients. Along with this, the herbicide application strategy ensures higher crop yields and more effective agricultural practices offering improved food production per hectare from crops using the resources efficiently when fields are kept free of weeds that provide competition. Thus, in a world where resources are limited, this is necessary to meet the growing demand for food and to encourage sustainable agriculture methods.

Adoption of Genetically Modified (GM) Crops

GM crops and the corresponding herbicides are widely used due to their compatibility. The combined features of herbicide tolerance and insect resistance grew by 6%, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), and now account for 85.1 million hectares, or 45% of all agricultural land worldwide. It demonstrates the preference of farmers for ecologically friendly agricultural practices, such as no-till planting and less use of pesticides. Herbicide tolerance continued to be the most common feature in crops such as cotton, soybeans, canola, maize, and alfalfa until 2018. Besides this, genetically modified (GM) crop integration has revolutionized current agriculture, especially regarding the dynamics of pesticide use. Genetically modified crops, designed to withstand herbicides, enable farmers to use herbicides without endangering the crop. Additionally, the area cultivated with biotech crops has expanded exponentially, reaching millions of hectares globally. The trait of herbicide resistance simplifies weed control and enhances the effectiveness of agricultural practices by reducing the labor and cost involved in traditional weeding methods. Consequently, this drives the demand for genetically modified seeds and their compatible herbicides, marking a significant shift in agricultural methodologies.

Rising Incidence of Weed Resistance

The growing use of herbicides has led to an increase in weed resistance cases. This process happens when herbicide-treated weed populations adapt to withstand the treatments, eventually decreasing the efficacy of these drugs over time. Additionally, Weed Science indicates a fundamental problem with agricultural management with numerous occurrences of herbicide resistance. For instance, herbicide-resistant weeds have been found in 531 different cases globally, encompassing 272 species (155 dicots and 117 monocots). These weeds have become resistant to 168 different herbicides, covering 21 of the 31 known sites of action. This ongoing need to create new herbicides that can defeat resistant strains is brought on by this increasing resistance. Maintaining high levels of agricultural output depends on addressing weed resistance, which calls for constant innovation and adaptation in the creation of herbicides and farming techniques. For instance, in a study recently published in the journal Weed Technology by the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) on 5 June 2024, it was found that Diflufenican, a novel preemergence herbicide for corn, shows promise as an effective component of integrated weed management against water hemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) resistant to multiple herbicides.
