Brazil approves Syngenta's isocycloseram

摘要

Brazil has approved Syngenta Crop Protection's insecticide, isocycloseram (trade-marked as Plinazolin). The isooxazoline active ingredient brings a novel mode of action (IRAC Group 30) for wide-spectrum insect control in the country including on lepidoptera, mites and thrips. The company says that the ai "delivers a new standard of performance" on 40 crops, such as coffee, cotton, fruits and vegetables, maize, ornamentals, rice and soybeans. Marketing manager for Syngenta's insecticides portfolio, Marcos Queiroz, claims that isocycloseram will "transform" insect control in Brazil.
