Using herbicides to eradicate weeds at an early stage helps in increasing the productivity and yield per unit, which has led to increased use among producers across the globe. However, in addition to killing weeds, herbicides also exert toxicity on crops. Herbicides can injure the main crop by damaging its shoots, foliage, flowers, and fruits. It can also lead to reduced yield, poor fruit quality, and can even cause death in plants. Herbicide injury to main crops may also result in the presence of chemical residues that can harm humans after consumption.

Thus, safeners are added to herbicides to protect the main crops from herbicide injury. Adding safeners to herbicides improves the target selectivity between crop and weed species. Sometimes, herbicide safeners are only used with specific herbicide adjuvants and active ingredients. For instance, benoxacor is added as a safener to protect crops against damage caused by the herbicide active ingredient, S-metolachlor.

The major factors restraining the growth of herbicide safeners market are the regulatory ban on herbicides and lack of awareness on the importance of herbicide safeners. However, the market has future prospects, which includes new herbicide active ingredient registrations and the development of sustainable safener combinations for herbicides.
