On 15 Jan., 2013, Zhejiang Boshida Crop Technological Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Boshida) got a formal registration for its thifluzamide formulation product, becoming the first domestic company to get the formulation registration of the product (not including the repackage registration), according to data from the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA). Later, on 30 Jan., Beijing Yoloo Pesticide Co., Ltd. (Beijing Yoloo), a famous formulation company in China, also got a formal registration for a thifluzamide formulation product. The approval of the two formulation registrations of thifluzamide will greatly increase the promotion of this product in the domestic market, according to Fungicides China News 1303 issued by CCM in March.
By 4 March, 2013, there had been only six valid registrations of thifluzamide in China. And all of the thifluzamide formulations registered at present are single ones, with the content of 240g/L SC, and all of them are registered on rice for the control of sheath blight.
It is expected that Zhejiang Boshida's thifluzamide formulations will have a good prospect in the domestic market. Actually, thifluzamide is highly active against sheath blight, compared with jingangmycin, the most used fungicide for the control of rice sheath blight at present. Moreover, Zhejiang Boshida registered its thifluzamide technical in late 2012, meaning that the company can produce formulations itself, which can lower the production cost for the formulation product. An insider from Zhejiang Boshida revealed that the price of the company's thifluzamide formulation product would certainly be lower than Pulsor (a thifluzamide formulation from Dow), although he didn't reveal the detailed price. (Dow is the first company that has introduced thifluzamide to China).
He also revealed that Beijing Yoloo and some other domestic companies also bought thifluzamide technical from Zhejiang Boshida. It is expected that the registration of thifluzamide formulations will greatly increase in the near future. This trend can also be seen from ICAMA' data. By 5 March, 2013, there had been 71 registration applications for thifluzamide formulations in China. In addition to single formulations, there are also many mixed formulation registration applications. The mixed formulations include thifluzamide+jingangmycin, thifluzamide+tebuconazole, thifluzamide+hexaconazole, etc. An insider from Zhejiang Boshida revealed that the company has developed a thifluzamide+hexaconazole formulation product and the registration is expected to be approved in H1 2013.
Zhejiang Boshida is a company under the holding Hangzhou Udragon Chemical Co., Ltd. (Udragon Chemical). By 4 March, 2013, Zhejiang Boshida and Udragon Chemical have got 16 fungicide technical and formulation registrations, including some excellent fungicides such as azoxystrobin, cyproconazole, thifluzamide, tetraconazole and fludioxonil.
