On 5 April, 2016, at its product release conference in Qingdao, Shandong Province, Arysta LifeScience Co., Ltd. (Arysta LifeScience) introduced its pesticides to be launched in China, including a brand-new fungicide, Evito.

“Evito is a highly systemic strobilurin fungicide, a new member of the fluoxastrobin series,” disclosed Yin Yangyi, manager of the product development department, Arysta LifeScience.

Bai Yaluo, an expert in Jiangsu Pesticide Research Institute Co., Ltd., introduced, “Fluoxastrobin was discovered by Bayer CropScience. This broad-spectrum pesticide can be mixed with various other pesticides. Not only does it excel at pests & diseases control and prevention, but also at crop care.”

In 2005, Bayer CropScience granted Arysta LifeScience the rights to develop and sell fluoxastrobin products. Specifically, Arysta LifeScience was allowed to sell fluoxastrobin pesticides in the US, Japan and Canada for crop protection only, and sell to the rest of the globe for other uses.

In 2012, these two enterprises signed another contract, which granted Arysta LifeScience the exclusive access to fluoxastrobin products for both crop protection and other applications, with the rights reserved for Bayer CropScience to develop and sell fluoxastrobin seed treatments and some special pesticide mixtures.

Recent years have witnessed steady surge in the global sales of fluoxastrobin pesticides. Till now, fluoxastrobin has been registered in many countries.

Notably, patent of fluoxastrobin is to be expired on 14 Jan. 2017. According to some insiders, some Chinese pesticide producers have already turned their eyes to fluoxastrobin.

Prior to this, pyraclostrobin fungicide, another member of the strobilurin series, has become hot in the market after becoming off-patent in 2015. Not only has some domestic enterprises started or planned to construct pyraclostrobin projects, but also a large number of pesticide producers applied for pyraclostrobin pesticide registrations. Both the registrations and field trials have “skyrocketed”.

The vital reason for this popularity lies in the huge market potential of the strobilurin pesticide series. Given this, fluoxastrobin pesticides are expected to be hot in China. Yet, due to little experience in fluoxastrobin applications in China, domestic producers should do detailed research on overseas fluoxastrobin pesticides and registrations for preparation.

Although no fluoxastrobin technical and formulations have been registered in China yet, according to the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture, a number of Chinese pesticide producers have started field trials on fluoxastrobin pesticides, like Shaanxi Weierqi Crop Protection Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Thompson Biological Technology Co., Ltd. This showed that domestic enterprises have got ready for the competition.

Arysta LifeScience has predominant advantages in China’s fluoxastrobin market, thanks to its success in promoting fluoxastrobin pesticides in many other regions. Of course, Arysta LifeScience’s fluoxastrobin pesticides to be launched can also serve as references for domestic pesticide producers.
