The market demand for prochloraz continues to grow, and the industry has large room for development

Prochloraz is a broad-spectrum fungicide of the imidazole family, which mainly works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol. As a highly efficient, low-toxic, broad-spectrum fungicide, prochloraz is effective against a variety of crop diseases caused by ascomycetes and deuteromycetes. In addition, prochloraz can also be mixed with most fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. It is suitable for the prevention and treatment of diseases of field crops, fruits and vegetables, turf, ornamental plants, etc.

The original drug of prochloraz is a yellow-brown liquid with an aromatic smell. It is unstable to concentrated acid, concentrated alkali and light, and solidifies when cooled. Prochloraz was first developed by the former German Schering Agrichemical Company under the trade name Spock. Later, with the development of the market, prochloraz was promoted and applied in many regions such as Europe, Japan, China, the United States, and Israel. my country is a large agricultural country, and the prochloraz market is developing rapidly. At present, our country has become a major producer and exporter of prochloraz. In 2021, my country’s market demand for prochloraz raw materials has increased to about 4.0 thousand tons.

In China, there are many registration certificate numbers related to prochloraz. According to data from the China Pesticide Information Network, as of the end of November 2022, there were 370 registration certificate numbers for prochloraz. The registered dosage forms include aqueous emulsions, suspension concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, crude oils, etc. Medicines, wettable powders, microcapsule suspensions, microemulsions, thermal sprays, etc. In terms of compounding agents, prochloraz compound products include tebuconazole + prochloraz, prochlorazine + prochloraz, prochloraz + prochloraz, oxime + prochloraz, etc.

According to the “2022-2026 China Prochloraz Product Market Analysis Feasibility Research Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, in production In terms of production, there are many prochloraz-related manufacturers in my country, including Jiangxi Zhengbang, Nanjing Red Sun Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Qinfeng Agricultural Chemical, Jiangsu Changlong Agricultural Chemical, Henan Jinxiu Star, etc. Among them, the production capacity utilization rate of Jiangxi Zhengbang Prochloramine technical material is relatively high, which will be around 95.0% in 2021.

Prochlorazine intermediates include imidazole, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, Guguang, etc. The production process involves amination, acylation, etherification, condensation, acidification, neutralization, desolvation and other links. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of technology of production enterprises, the quality of prochloraz products has been greatly improved, and has now reached the international advanced level. In the future, under the dual-carbon background, relevant companies still need to increase investment in technology and process research and development, improve product quality, and help the prochloraz industry become energy-saving, high-end, and sustainable.

Industry analysts said that our country is a large agricultural country, and the domestic market has a large demand for high-efficiency, low-toxicity, and broad-spectrum fungicides. The prochloraz market has broad development space. After years of development, my country has become a major producer and exporter of prochloraz. The production process and product quality of prochloraz have been greatly improved. In the future, under the dual-carbon background, the structure of the prochloraz industry will continue to be optimized, and the industry will develop toward energy conservation. , high-end, and sustainable upgrades.
