Dow Receives Chinese Registration of Arylex
13 May 2014 Dow AgroSciences said it has received Chinese registration of its Arylex active ingredient for managing broadleaf weeds in multiple crops.
Specifically, the company received the Chinese registration of Quelex锐超麦™ herbicide, a combination of Arylex plus florasulam for use in cereals.
The Chinese registration of the low-use rate herbicide is the “first of many” expected by the company. Continued registrations of products with Arylex are anticipated in 2014 and beyond in all major cereal herbicide markets including Canada, where the regulatory process is nearing completion, as well as in Australia, the United States and most European countries.
Discovered by and proprietary to Dow AgroSciences, Arylex (ARE-eh-lex) is the first member of a new structural class of synthetic auxin herbicides. The new molecule has the common name of halauxifen-methyl.
“The introduction of our new herbicide with Arylex will strengthen Dow AgroSciences’ leadership position in the cereal herbicide segment. Our customers will benefit from this innovation to help protect their cereal crops which are important to feeding a hungry world,” said Pierre Flye Sainte Marie, global leader, EMEA and Asia Pacific, Dow AgroSciences.
