Heterocyclic bicyclic arthropod pesticides: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Broad-spectrum pest resistance and limited chemical scaffolds restrict the efficacy of current arthropod and nematode control methods in plant protection.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Heterocyclic bicyclic arthropod pesticides?

Fused bicyclic aryl substitution

(3)evidences

Existing heterocyclic compounds exhibit insufficient efficacy against insects and arachnids compared to newer substituted fused derivatives.

Heterocyclic ring system instability

(5)evidences

Existing chemical treatments fail to provide broad-spectrum control against diverse insects and arachnids that damage agricultural crops and forestry.

Sulfonamide nematicidal efficacy loss

(17)evidences

Existing treatments lack sufficient efficacy and spectrum of activity to prevent arthropod-driven yield loss and animal ectoparasite infestations.
