Abstract Chemical crop protection is one of the most cost‐effective methods for agriculture, as failures can be prevented, and sustainable growth enabled regardless seasons. Agricultural production must significantly increased in future to meet food needs a growing world population. However, continued loss established active ingredients due consumer perceptions, changing farmers ever‐changing regulatory requirements higher than annually new introduced market. The development innovative therefore essential continuously improve selectivity, efficacy favorable environmental profile agrochemicals. Molecules with stereogenic centers considered here, they often have different properties non‐chiral molecules. Natural products their congeners are still valuable source inspiration chiral only few novel agrochemicals currently produced on an industrial scale pure stereoisomers or enriched form. As 2018, around 43% 35 market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides) contain more molecule, almost 69% them been marketed racemic mixtures enantiomers stereoisomers. Surprisingly, proportion same order magnitude time frame from 2007 2017 42%, respectively.
