Multinational agrochemicals corporations pay much attention to the China’s herbicide market of staple crops, such as rice and wheat. And over half of the market share of rice herbicides has been captured by multinational agrochemicals corporations. Thus, penoxsulam and cyhalofop-butyl, which are dominant products in rice weeding control, receives great notice from both Chinese and foreign agrochemicals enterprises.



 

Penoxsulam

 

In the past few years, penoxsulam kept growing in its global sales value. In 2007, the global sales value of penoxsulam was only about USD50 million and only after six years of development, it went up to over USD250 million, 500% up compared to that in 2007.

 

Thanks to its low toxicity, efficacy in weed control, and safety, penoxsulam is one of the most dominant herbicides in the rice market in China. However, with unreasonable use of penoxsulam, the problem of resistant from weeds also appears.

 

Penoxsulam is very popular with farmers due to its advantages in weed control. With broad spectrum, penoxsulam can weed out barnyard grass, nutgrass and different kinds of broadleaf weed. With a long efficacious duration- 30-60 days, one time application on the crops can control the weeds for a whole season.

 

Fencer, key product from Dow AgroSciences, has already become the most popular herbicide brand in China. In 2014, Fencer sold over RMB500 million in China.

 

Cyhalofop-butyl

Besides penoxsulam, cyhalofop-butyl is also an excellent herbicide for rice. Cyhalofop-butyl performed quite well in its sales value as well. In 2008, the global sales value of cyhalofop-butyl reached USD70 million; in 2013, it went up to USD145 million, up 200% in just five years. The CAGR of the global sales value was 10.8% in 2006-2011 while that was 23.6% in 2011-2013.

 

In the past two years, cyhalofop-butyl has become one of the dominant herbicide in controlling gramineous weeds like barnyard grass and euphorbiae.

 

It is predicted that cyhalofop-butyl enjoys a very potential market in the near future. However, the market would be more intense. Currently, 22 Chinese manufacturers have already registered for the cyhalofop-butyl 95%-98% technical and cyhalofop-butyl became the most popular active ingredient that got registered in 2013 in China.

 

Both the consumption and sales value of cyhalofop-butyl increased a lot in China in the past three years, especially the consumption and sales value of Clincher, a brand from DowSciences. The consumption of some Chinese brands also went up, which was attributed to the good effect on weed control of cyhalofop-butyl.

 

Cyhalofop-butyl excels in controlling malignant gramineous weeds especially in killing euphorbiae, which other herbicides cannot compared with.

 

It is easy for cyhalofop-butyl to get formulated with other ingredients, such as penoxsulam, quinclorac, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl and oxaziclomefone, which widens its weed control spectrum and slows the resistance from the weeds on the herbicides.
