Understanding the importance of Algaecides
Algaecides are often called biocide (chemical) which is generally used for killing and preventing the growth of algae. It is difficult task to kill black algae due to its waxy coating; hence most algaecides are designed to remove black algae. Algaecides include chelated copper, copper sulfate, and quaternary ammonia, among others.

Nutrient pollution is one of the most widespread, costly, and challenging environmental problems that the world is facing today and is caused by surplus nitrogen and phosphorous in the water.

Population pressure is continuing to be the deciding factor against proper land and water management in many developing countries. Agriculture production is critical for any form of suitable future but focusing on the agriculture industry alone without regard for other important factors that influence and increase food production is certainly not the way to tackle the problems of food security.

The algaecides market has been segmented based on type, application, and geography. On the basis of type, the segmentation is done based on copper-based, quaternary ammonia, others.
