Journal of China Agrochemicals & CCM
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.
