• Introduction to Cheminova

University, DK• In USA since 1987 (Wayne, NJ)
Cheminova
Flutriafol and products
• A triazole introduced in 1981 by ICI• Bought by Cheminova from Syngenta in 2001• Not registered in the USA or authorized for use
under any FIFRA Section 18 exemption, although it is the subject of Section 18 requests submitted to the US EPA by several states
• Foliar sprays• Microgranules - maize and coffee• Seed treatments
Flutriafol – the soybean rust standard
• Given top rating in Brazil• Highly active against rust • Highly systemic• Strongly curative• Very persistent in effect – extended spray
intervals or fewer sprays• Outstanding yield results • No crop damage • Can be mixed for added spectrum

Section 18 Request to Control Soybean Rust- details of flutriafol portion of April 2005 request under review by EPA
• Formulation contains flutriafol, 125 SC• Rate per acre: 7 fluid ounces• Maximum number of sprays: 2• Spray interval: 18 to 20 days• Pre-harvest interval: 21 days
Conclusion - Flutriafol
- very effective against soybean rust- protects yield best- has useful spectrum- can be tank-mixed - subject of Section 18 request - registration supported by Cheminova- a significant option for the US soybean farmer
