DuPont Insect Control Products Get The Nod In Japan, Brazil

DuPont has received registration approvals in Japan and Brazil for insect control products that contain the technical active ingredient Rynaxypyr. Products containing Rynaxypyr have been available for more than two years, since the first introductions in the Philippines and Indonesia in 2007. Registrations have been obtained in more than 45 countries, including seven European Union countries, the U.S., and Canada.

In Japan, products containing Rynaxypyr are registered for use in 18 crops, including rice, soybean, tea, a wide range of vegetable crops such as cabbage, broccoli and eggplant, and pome and stone fruit crops such as apples and cherries.

In Brazil, products powered by Rynaxypyr are registered for use in 13 crops, including soybeans, sugarcane, coffee, maize (field corn), apples, peaches, and a variety of vegetable crops such as tomato, cucumber, and melon.

The Food & Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization Codex Alimentarius Commission of the United Nations has established international food standards for this new active ingredient in a wide range of crops that are major commodities in international trade.
