The approval of DuPont's cyantraniliprole is
one of the most hottest topics in domestic insecticide industry recently.
Besides cyantraniliprole's innovative action mode and good control effect, its
formulation type also draws much attention. DuPont's cyantraniliprole is
formulated as oil dispersions (OD), which is very rare for insecticide products
in domestic market at present, according to CCM’s October issue of Insecticides
China News
Some pesticide dealers even reveal that they
never heard of OD formulation before. Well, they are not to blame. After all,
DuPont's cyantraniliprole OD formulation is only the second insecticide OD
formulation in China .
Before that, Jiangxi Tianren Ecology Co., Ltd. (Jiangxi Tianren) registered 30
billion spores/g of beauveria bassiana oil dispersion (OD) to control rice leaf
folder in early 2012, which is the only registration of insecticide OD back
then in China (Insecticide China News 1204, P14).
In fact, OD formulation is not a new
formulation. China has over 190 registrations for OD formulation at present;
thereinto, two for insecticides, one for plant growth regulator and the rest
for herbicides such as nicosulfuron, atrazine, mesotrione, etc., according to
the data from the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of
Agriculture (ICAMA).
However, this situation is expected to be
changed in near future. "Besides herbicides, some companies are developing
and registering insecticide OD products and fungicide OD products at
present." Said Mr. Qin from Jiangsu Sinvochem S&D Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu
Sinvochem), a chemical company dedicated to polymer surfactant development and
application on eco-friendly pesticide formulations.
As disclosed by Mr. Qin, insecticide AIs
expected to be formulated as OD products in near future include abamectin,
spinosad, emamectin benzoate, indoxacarb, pymetrozine, thiamethoxam,
thiacloprid, spirotetramat, etc.
At present, most of the pesticides are
formulated as EC formulation. However, the government restricts the application
of EC formulation because this formulation is harmful to the environment. As a
result, the development of eco-friendly formulations such as SC, ME, WDG, EW,
etc., is very hot in domestic market at present.
OD formulation is not so hot as the
formulations mentioned above, but it also attracts some companies. It is
expected that OD formulation will become hot because it owns some advantages
such as its improved absorbability and strong adhesion, etc.
However, insiders reveal that the processing
technology of OD formulation in China
lags behind some overseas companies. The AI content of OD formulation produced
by domestic companies is still very low at present. To better promote this
formulation, companies should pay more attention to its R&D.
