In 2025, innovation in agricultural inputs focuses on crop protection, prioritizing sustainability and resistance management, according to the iGrow News report that outlines the major trends in agricultural input innovation for 2025. New products, whether chemical or biological, aim to optimize existing solutions rather than introduce disruptive chemistries. This trend highlights the importance of managing agronomic risks in the face of increasing biological and regulatory pressures while maintaining economic balance in crop development.

In the face of challenges posed by migratory pests like locusts, farmers have limited effective management options. A recent study reveals that using soil amendments can not only reduce the abundance of these pests but also improve crop yields. By increasing the nitrogen content in plants, it is possible to decrease their palatability for herbivorous insects, thus offering a promising strategy for sustainable pest management in agroecosystems.
