Cyclobutrifluram based pesticidal mixtures: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Resistance development in target pests increases crop loss risks, which is mitigated through the engineering of specific chemical ratios in multicomponent mixtures. Precise control over active ingredient combinations prevents metabolic detoxification and ensures sustained efficacy.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Cyclobutrifluram based pesticidal mixtures?

Pathogen resistance and narrow spectrum

(13)evidences

Individual active ingredients often fail against resistant fungal strains or have narrow efficacy ranges. Combining these specific agents overcomes biological defense mechanisms and prevents crop loss from diverse infestations.

Phytopathogenic fungal resistance

(7)evidences

Fungal pathogens develop resistance to single-active ingredients and existing treatments often lack broad-spectrum efficacy. Combining specific substituted pyridines addresses the limitation of insufficient control over diverse harmful phytopathogenic fungi.

Insufficient pest control spectrum

(6)evidences

Uncontrolled fungal pathogens cause significant yield loss and degradation of plant propagation material. Mitigating these biological threats prevents crop failure and ensures agricultural productivity.

Insufficient broad spectrum pest control

(3)evidences

Individual active ingredients often fail to control a broad range of diverse pest species simultaneously. Expanding the spectrum of activity prevents crop loss from secondary pests.

Pathogen resistance and crop loss

(2)evidences

Single-agent treatments often fail to manage resistant or diverse fungal populations. Combining specific biological and chemical agents overcomes limited efficacy spectrums and prevents crop loss.
