Boscalid has a high popularity rate and good market development prospects

Boscalid is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide with the chemical formula C18H12Cl2N2O. Its mechanism of action is to penetrate into the plant through the leaves, interact with the mitochondria in the pathogenic cells, and inhibit the dehydration of mitochondrial succinate. Hydrogenase blocks the tricarboxylic acid cycle, thereby inhibiting spore germination, bacterial tube extension, and hyphae growth.

There are many types of fungicides. Due to technical limitations, traditional fungicides have unavoidable resistance problems. Resistance problems will cause the failure of crop disease control, thereby causing huge losses to agricultural production. In recent years, as the problem of fungicide resistance has become increasingly prominent, domestic and foreign companies and research institutions have begun the research and development of new pesticides. A variety of pesticides can effectively combat the resistance to benzimidazole and methoxyacrylate fungicides. New SDHI fungicides were developed. Boscalid is one of them.

Boscalid was developed by BASF in Germany and was first registered and listed in the UK in 2003. Since then, as its advantages have become increasingly prominent, its market penetration has continued to increase. Up to now, boscalid has been registered and listed in more than 70 countries including Japan, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Italy, China, and Spain, and the market development space is broad.

Boscalid is a broad-spectrum fungicide that can be used to prevent and control nearly a hundred diseases such as brown rot, stem rot, root rot, sclerotinia, powdery mildew, and gray mold. It is used in vegetables, beans, Disease control scenarios for economic crops such as melons, onions, fruit trees, tomatoes, strawberries, eggplants, and lettuce are widely used. According to the“China’s Boscalid Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that the global market size of boscalid in 2022 will be approximately US$450 million, a year-on-year increase of 3.7%.

From the perspective of the Chinese market, boscalid was registered and launched in 2003. Administrative protection for 7.5 years began in 2004. The patent protection expired in 2012. At this point, my country’s boscalid has entered the independent registration stage. As of February 2023, there are 151 boscalid products within the validity period of registration in my country. The relevant registered companies mainly include Jiangxi Zhonghe Chemical, Qingdao Hansheng Biotechnology, Shandong Biobio, Dalian Jiuxin Crops, and Shandong United Lianong Biology, Qingdao Haina Bio, Inner Mongolia Lingsheng Crops, Jiangsu Futian Agrochemical, Jiangxi Heyi Chemical, etc.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, against the background of the year-by-year increase in the output of my country’s economic crops, the fungicide market Demand continues to increase. Due to current limitations, traditional fungicides have inevitable resistance problems. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, new fungicides including boscalid have emerged and become fungicide products with broad development prospects. . In my country, boscalid has been widely used in cash crops, and most companies have deployed in this field, and the market shows good development prospects.
