An overview is given of the significance of heterocycles in crop protection chemistry, which is enormous as more than two‐thirds of all agrochemicals launched to the market within the last 20 years belong to this huge group of chemicals. This review focuses on two important aspects of heterocyclic agrochemistry: the different roles of heterocyclic scaffolds in crop protection agents and the major possibilities for their synthesis. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
