From Global Success to a Local Milestone: How the Novel Herbicide Pyroxasulfone is Starting a New Chapter in China

Pioneered by Japan's Kumiai Chemical Industry, the novel herbicide Pyroxasulfone is rapidly becoming a star product in the agrochemical market, thanks to its outstanding performance and flexible global partnership strategy. Through licensing and joint development agreements with industry giants such as BASF, Bayer, and FMC, a series of innovative combination products have been launched across major global markets. This strategy has significantly driven its market expansion, achieving remarkable success, particularly in the United States and South America. Data shows that the active ingredient's global sales have seen astonishing growth, reaching $508 million in 2023. The industry further forecasts this figure will climb to $586 million by fiscal year 2026.

57 New Pesticide Active Ingredients Approved for Registration! Proportion of Biologicals Soars, Chinese Companies Seize Post-Patent Market

In recent years, the entry threshold for China's pesticide market has undergone significant changes. A key turning point occurred at the end of 2020 when China's pesticide regulatory authorities adjusted the acceptance standards for overseas experimental data, no longer accepting registration applications based solely on OECD GLP reports. This policy has profoundly impacted the introduction of new pesticides, especially chemical ones, reshaping the innovation landscape of the entire industry. To clearly illustrate this change, we have comprehensively reviewed the 57 new active ingredients that received first-time approval in China between 2019 and early 2024. The data shows that the number of new active ingredient approvals has fluctuated. Among these years, 2021 was a peak period for registrations, with a total of 20 new members entering the market. This was followed by 2019 with 16; 2020 was relatively quiet, with only 6 new active ingredients approved.

Who's Leading the PGR Race? A Look at Guoguang Agrochemical's Strategy Through its 145 Registrations

Within the broader pesticide category, Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) are playing an increasingly vital role. Unlike traditional insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, the core value of PGRs lies in their unique dual efficacy: they not only scientifically regulate crop growth and development but also significantly enhance final yield and quality. This characteristic, coupled with their generally low toxicity and high safety profile, enables their widespread application across diverse agricultural scenarios, addressing modern agriculture's core demand for higher quality and greater efficiency.

Global Mancozeb Summit: Science-Driven Defense for Agriculture

Recently, the Global Mancozeb Summit, led by the Global Crop Protection Science Alliance (CERSA) and co-hosted by multiple leading agricultural technology enterprises and research institutions, was successfully convened. The conference brought together plant pathologists, regulatory experts, and industry leaders from around the world to conduct an in-depth analysis of the irreplaceability of mancozeb in modern agricultural integrated management systems and the regulatory challenges it faces. Participants reached a broad consensus that in the process of ensuring global food security and promoting sustainable agricultural development, it is necessary to maintain the rational application of key multi-site protectants such as mancozeb based on rigorous scientific evidence.
