A single preemergence application of dacthal wipes out weeds before they compete with high-value crops for water, nutrients and sunlight. Dacthal stops difficult-to-control, predominant broadleaf and grass weeds before they grow, and it promotes fast and vigorous crop growth. Its dependable residual activity provides a solid, season-long foundation for weed control that can eliminate the need for postemergence applications and radically reduce tilling time and labor costs in row crops. Dacthal fowable herbicide delivers the high quality, high value control that helps growers get more out of every acre they plant.

  Banvel is firstly launched in early 1960s, now a famous herbicide for weed control in corn, cotton, sorghum, soybean, small grains, pasture, hay, rangeland, general farmstead, fallow, sugarcane, asparagus, turf and grass seed crops. This Auxin-type synthetic hormone herbicide interferes with Indolic Acetic Acid in growing plant parts inducing cell elongation. Subsequently the stem bends, the growing point swells and leaves curl causing death. Banvel controls tough broadleaved weeds, can be applied early, before weeds start to rob yield due to some residual activity, and still provides control until canopy closes. Application of Banvel in corn, soybean and grain has been increased by 5% annually in USA, Brazil, Argentina and EU countries. However, due to single does and slow promotion in China, Banvel’s development is at the beginning.

Dazomet is applied before the planting of crops by soil incorporation, thereby causing it to act as a soil fumigant and disinfectant by decomposing to methyl isothiocyanate. It controls soil fungi (i.e. Fusarium, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, Verticillium and Colletotrichum coccodes (atramentarium), nematodes, germinating weed seeds and soil-dwelling insects. Dazomet was firstly reported in 1942, and all related patents have been out of date. Currently, BASF is the largest Dazomet manufacturer around the world (product name: Basamid). But Japan is the key market for Dazomety, Agro Kanesho is the main distributor for BASF. Particularly, BASF approved Agro Kanesho to manage their soil fumigants business. In addition, Amvac was approved to be exclusive distributor by Agro Kanesho, while Ceritis USA keeps distribution rights in non-food area.

Cyazofamid is a new fungicide discovered by ISK and firstly launched in 2001. Cyazofamid, with its novel mode of action, is highly effective against Oomycetes diseases. Cyazofamid has good persistence and offers excellent rainfastness in many crops at low dose rates but no negative impact on beneficial insects and mites. Cyazofamid shows excellent performance on Oomycete diseases such as late blight in potatoes, tomatoes, pepper, and other vegetables and downy mildew in grapevine, cucumber, melon and others. 

Thiamethoxam offers effective broad-spectrum pest protection on numerous crops around the world. Thiamethoxam is a second generation neonicotinoid insecticide, belonging to the thianicotinyl subclass of chemistry, and possesses unique chemical properties. Thiamethoxam interferes with a specific receptor site in the insect’s nervous system. Once insects feed on the plant or come into contact with thiamethoxam, feeding is irreversibly stopped and insect damage halts. Thiamethoxam is the active ingredient firstly developed by Novartis (now Syngenta) in 1998 in Brazil. After that, it grows fast and has been registered in 65 countries on 115 types of crops and applications, covering large scale of vegetables, rice, cotton, fruits, tobacco, potato and grains.  The market share is only second to imidacloprid, rising from 7.46 billion USD in 2009 to 11.4 billion USD in 2012.
