Propiconazole has excellent bactericidal performance and fierce competition in the industry

Propiconazole, also known as Dilitol, Biprofen, and Proconazole, is a systemic triazole fungicide with dual protective and therapeutic effects. It is a light yellow to light brown viscous liquid with bactericidal properties. It has the characteristics of broad spectrum, high activity, fast bactericidal speed, long duration of effect, and strong systemic conductivity. It is a representative variety of emerging broad-spectrum fungicides in the world’s large-tonnage triazole class.

Propiconazole affects the biosynthesis of sterols, thereby destroying the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria and causing them to die, achieving sterilization and prevention effects. Propiconazole has excellent bactericidal properties, strong adhesion and penetration. It can be quickly absorbed by plants after application and can kill pathogens in 2 hours. It is effective against root rot, banana leaf spot, wheat total rot, grape It has good control effects on anthracnose, rice pathogenic fungus, strawberry powdery mildew, etc., and can also play a certain role in preserving the freshness of fruits and vegetables. It has become a special fungicide for economic crops.

According to the “China Propiconazole Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, As a major agricultural producer, my country has a relatively strong demand for pesticides. In 2022, my country’s fungicide market will exceed 6.5 billion yuan. With the continuous development of my country’s agriculture, propiconazole is gradually popularized and applied in the domestic market, its application scope continues to expand, and market demand continues to grow, with good development prospects. In addition, propiconazole has excellent mixability and can be mixed with difenoconazole, blastamide, pyraclostrobin and other agents to further improve its control performance and expand application scenarios.

At present, the synthesis processes of propiconazole mainly include the halogenation and then cyclization process and the condensation and then cyclization process. The former is the main production process of propiconazole due to its low initial investment, lower requirements for production equipment and stable process yield. .

At this stage, my country’s propiconazole market is not highly concentrated and industry competition is fierce. At present, the main domestic propiconazole manufacturers include Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Heben Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Qizhou Green Chemical Co., Ltd. Company, Weifang Double Star Pesticide Co., Ltd., etc. At present, the price of propiconazole in China is low and the profit margin is small. At the same time, the quality of propiconazole on the market is uneven, and there are counterfeit and shoddy products, false propaganda, etc., which have a certain impact on the development of the industry.

Industry analysts said that propiconazole has a wide range of applications and excellent bactericidal performance. As my country’s agricultural modernization level continues to improve, propiconazole The application scope of azole will be further expanded and has good development prospects. Facing fierce market competition, propiconazole manufacturers need to constantly update production equipment, improve production technology and production efficiency, ensure product quality and performance, at the same time strengthen publicity and marketing, improve after-sales service, pay attention to brand building, and seek to win in the price war. New growth points, improve its own competitiveness and occupy more market share.
