The Value of Pyrethroids in North America:
This report series, researched and produced by AgInfomatics, LLC, is an independent and compre-hensive analysis of the economic and societal benefits of pyrethroid insecticides (bifenthrin, cyfluthrins, cyhalothrins, cypermethrins, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, permethrin, and tefluthrin). The research was sponsored by the Pyrethroid Working Group, an informal association of firms marketing products based on the above pyrethroid active ingredients. These products are used in agricultural, structural and landscape applications.
AgInfomatics, an agricultural consulting firm established in 1995, conducted an analyses exploring the answer to the question: What would happen if pyrethroids were no longer available or restricted beyond the current situation? Comparing this hypothetical future to the economics associated with current applications allowed AgInfomatics to derive an estimate of the value of pyrethroids.
This estimated value was based on robust quantitative and qualitative study methods including econometrics, modeling of insecticide use, crop yield data, market impacts, surveys of growers, surveys of professional applicators and in-depth case studies. All these data sources and methods were used to triangulate on the above question.
