Abner JohnThe agri-input industry forms the backbone of modern agriculture by providing essential inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and agrochemicals, which directly influence crop productivity, profitability, and sustainability. High-quality seeds form the basis of successful crop production, while fertilizers replenish soil nutrients and agrochemicals protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. With the continuous demand for increased food production, technological advancements in seed biotechnology, improved fertilizer formulations, and safer pesticide molecules have transformed the global input sector. However, challenges such as nutrient imbalance, pesticide resistance, environmental contamination, and regulatory constraints require efficient and sustainable management. This chapter reviews the evolution, classification, role, challenges, and future prospects of seeds, fertilizers, and agrochemicals as major inputs in agriculture.en-US"SeedsHybrid TechnologyFertilizersAgrochemicalsINMIPMCrop ProductivityAgri-input Industry"Book chapter
