Methoxyacrylate fungicide picoxystrobin ushered in another milestone

Among methoxy acrylate fungicides, picoxystrobin (picoxystrobin) is eye-catching due to its rapid market growth
.
In 2015, picoxystrobin ranked fourth in this category of fungicides with a sales of 330 million US dollars, but its compound annual growth rate from 2010 to 2015 was as high as 19.
6%, far ahead of azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin Big-name similar products such as trifloxystrobin and trifloxystrobin
.
The rapid growth of picoxystrobin is due to DuPont's meticulous creation
.
In recent years, DuPont has paid special attention to the development of fungicides, such as penthiopyramide and fluthiazolpyridone have gradually been recognized by the market
.
Picoxystrobin has now become DuPont's second largest product after chlorantraniliprole
.
Picoxystrobin inhibits the respiration of mitochondria by preventing electron transfer at the cytochrome bc1 Qo site
.
It is a preventive and therapeutic bactericide with unique distribution characteristics such as: systemic (toward), leaf absorption, diffusion in the waxy layer of the leaf and molecular redistribution in the air
.
According to reports, picoxystrobin is the most systemic methoxy acrylate fungicide
.
It is precisely because of the internal absorption and evaporation of picoxystrobin that the effective ingredients can be effectively redistributed and fully delivered after application.
Therefore, picoxystrobin has better therapeutic activity than azoxystrobin and trifloxystrobin
.
Picoxystrobin is a broad-spectrum fungicide, which can effectively control leaf blight, glume blight, brown rust, macular disease and powdery mildew caused by Ceratocystis sp brown rust and powdery mildew, crown rust and leaf spot on oats, rye and the cloudiness and brown rust disease, the dosage is typically 250 g / hm2 main application crops include: fruit, grain and the like
.
Picoxystrobin was discovered and developed by Syngenta and went on the market in 2001
.
On January 1, 2004, picoxystrobin was included in the list of registered active ingredients in the EU Pesticide Registration Regulation (1107/2009)
.
Picoxystrobin is mainly used in cereals in Europe, under the trade name Acanto.
This product has laid a solid foundation in the European market and has strong competitiveness in the cereal fungicide market.

.
In 2006, the global rights to picoxystrobin were sold to DuPont
.
After DuPont took over picoxystrobin, its market potential has been well brought into play
.
DuPont increased the sales performance of picoxystrobin by adding new registrations and developing compound products
.
Picoxystrobin can be sold as a single agent, and many compound products are also available on the market
.
Compatible products mainly include: cyprodinil, chlorothalonil, silfluconazole, hexaconazole, fenmorpholine, propiconazole, propiconazole + fenpropidin, cyproconazole, benzodifluconazole and so on
.
In the same year that DuPont received picoxystrobin, Aproach Prima, a compound product of picoxystrobin and ciproconazole, was launched in Brazil to prevent and control soybean rust in Asia, and thus established a strong market position in Brazil
.
DuPont continues to develop the picoxystrobin market
.
In 2012, it was registered by the U.
S.
Environmental Protection Agency for use in corn, soybeans and wheat
.
In 2013, it was approved to be registered in Canada for use in grains under the trade name Acapela; in 2014, it was further expanded to include rapeseed, legumes, corn and soybeans
.
In 2013, DuPont launched the Aproach Prima, a combination product of picoxystrobin and ciproconazole, in the United States for use in corn, soybeans and wheat
.
DuPont has been working hard on innovation in the development of picoxystrobin
.
The company launched the fungicide Vessarya in Brazil this year, which is a compound product of picoxystrobin and Syngenta succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide benfluconazole, used to prevent Asian soybean rust and other fungi It is regarded as an important supplement to DuPont’s previous rust fungicide Aproach Prima (picoxystrobin + ciproconazole), which was previously marketed in Brazil
.
DuPont's goal is that Vessarya's annual peak sales exceed US$200 million, thereby further strengthening picoxystrobin's market position in Brazil
.
In 2012, DuPont of the United States registered 97% picoxystrobin technical and 22.
5% picoxystrobin suspension in China
.
On June 19, 2016, 19% pyridoxine
.
Propiconazole suspension concentrate is registered in China for peanuts and wheat; in early April 2017, the product was expanded to rice to prevent rice sheath blight and rice smut
.
19% pyridine oxygen
.
Propiconazole Suspension Concentrate (12% propiconazole + 7% picoxystrobin; trade name "Fang") is DuPont's first fungicide applied to field crops in China
.
Foliar spray can effectively control peanut brown spot, rust, wheat rust, rice sheath blight and rice smut
.
The dosage of effective ingredients on peanuts is 200-250 g/hm2; the dosage of effective ingredients on wheat and rice is 150-200 g/hm2.
The mound is a product developed by DuPont for the needs of the Asian market after years of local development.
Stable and comprehensive control of diseases also has the effect of promoting crop health and helping growers to achieve a double harvest of yield and quality
.
The mound adopts an innovative dual formula, combining two different mechanisms of action, and there is no cross-resistance
.
It acts on different stages of fungal infection and possesses protective and therapeutic activities
.
It has excellent systemic conductivity, surface redistribution and cross-layer conduction activity, which promotes the rapid and uniform distribution of the effective ingredients in the leaves after application, ensuring the protection of the crop canopy
.
Law mound effectively reduces the content of gibberellin and indole acetic acid, inhibits the synthesis of ethylene, and increases the content of chlorophyll, thereby eliminating the top advantage of plants, promoting green leaves, strong stems, dwarf and compact plants, and ultimately promote crop health The role of growth
.
After 5 years of field trials, it was confirmed that the yield, thousand-grain weight, effective number of grains per panicle and effective panicles per hectare of rice and wheat were significantly better than the control group in terms of yield, 1000-grain weight, and effective panicle number per hectare.
, Growth, pod weight per plant and number of pods per plant were also significantly better than the control group
.
On April 17, the launching conference of DuPont's new product DuPont Fungicide Fungicide in China was held in Shandong
.
As the first field crop fungicide launched by DuPont in China, Fadun aims to provide rice, peanut and wheat growers with better plant protection solutions and achieve better returns beyond "high yield"
.
The listing of the mound marks that DuPont has ushered in another milestone in China's field crop protection, and it has also created a new growth pole for picoxystrobin in the global market
