Compound products of diflufenac are becoming increasingly abundant, and my country’s market has great potential for development

Flufenacet, also known as flufenacet, belongs to a class of substituted pyridylanilide herbicides. The purity of the original drug of diflufenac is ≥97%. It appears as a white crystalline solid. It is soluble in a variety of organic solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, etc., and has good photolysis stability. From the perspective of dosage forms, the main registered types of diflufenac in my country are suspension concentrates, wettable powders, water-dispersible granules, and dispersible oil suspension concentrates.

Pyflufenac was first patented by Bayer in 1982. The patent expired in 2001. Bayer officially launched the product in 1985. Due to the company’s layout, in the past three decades, the global consumer market for diflufenac has been mainly concentrated in Europe, with France and Germany being the largest consumer markets. Bayer is the earliest promoter of diflufenac and is currently the largest developer. In order to expand the market, Bayer stated that it will expand to the North American market in 2021. It is expected that diflufenac will be launched under the brand Convintro™ in 2025. Used to control amaranth vines and amaranth.

Pyflufenac is a pre-emergence and post-emergence treatment agent with low toxicity, broad spectrum, safety and other characteristics. It is widely used for weed control in rice, wheat, barley, corn, soybean and other crop fields. my country is a large agricultural country with a vast domestic planting area of ​​wheat, rice, etc., and the demand for diflufenac is vast. In recent years, due to the abuse of herbicides, weed resistance has gradually increased, and weed control has become more difficult. The domestic market has strong demand for new products and new technologies. Against this background, the development of my country’s diflufenac market has accelerated.

According to the “2022-2027 China’s diflufenac industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that in China, Bayer’s single-agent 50% wettable powder of diflufenac (Jiaoma) was first approved for promotion in 2014. Thanks to the continuous release of demand for wheat herbicides, the development trend of diflufenac market is relatively stable. good. At this stage, there are more than 40 effective products of diflufenac registered in my country, among which the original drug registration companies include Bayer AG, ADAMA AG, Jiangsu Changlong Agricultural Chemicals, Jiangsu Longdeng Chemicals, Jiangsu Jialong Chemicals, and Shandong Weifang Runfeng Chemicals wait.

In terms of mixture registration, the combination of flufenacet and isoproturon has the advantages of broad herbicidal spectrum, good herbicidal effect, and obvious synergy. It is a hot spot for domestic enterprise registration. In addition, it is combined with flufenacet and pyrazofen There are also registration registrations for compound preparations of Dimethalin and Pendimethalin. Diflufenac has good compounding properties, and diflufenac compound products currently occupy a major share of the market.

Industry analysts said that the market for diflufenac has been developing for a long time, but due to different corporate layouts, the consumption of diflufenac has declined. The market is mainly concentrated in Europe, and the Asian market has great development potential. Flufenacet has the characteristics of low toxicity, broad spectrum, safety, etc., and has a wide range of adaptability. At the same time, flufenacet has good compounding properties, and there are many compound products. my country is a large agricultural country, and there is huge demand for flufenacet. broad.
