Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain QST 713, better known under the brand family of Serenade^®, is the leading biological used against pathogenic organisms like fungi and bacteria. Based on a naturally occurring strain, Serenade is exempt from residues and can be applied until harvest time. So farmers use QST 713 as part of tailored solutions in order to reduce the chemical load or manage residues in Fruit and Vegetables. In bacterial disease management, Serenade^® is an alternative to antibiotics and replaces coppers sprays.  Serenad^e® applied to the soil activates the plant growth to increased yield and harvest quality. The Serenade^® brand family is registered for a wide range of crops and diseases and is commercial in over 50 countries globally. (note: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain QST 713 formerly known as Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713).

Fluopicolide, known under brands like Infinito^® or Profiler^®, is a unique mode of action focusing on the control of the aggressive oomycetes fungi around the globe. Major application are foliar treatments in potatoes, grapes and vegetables, but also seed treatment uses are registered.

With its strong anti-sporulant activity, Fluopicolide is already at relatively low dose rates highly effective on Phytophthora and Downy Mildew pathogens. Fluopicolide is further one of two effective fungicides to control tuber blight in potatoes and to control downy mildew in hops.

Fluopyram is a versatile and outstanding fungicide and nematicide.

As a multi-crop, top-tier efficacy SDHI fungicide it is known under brand names such as Luna^® and Propulse^®. The Luna^® portfolio allows to significantly reduce Fruit & Vegetable losses while Propulse^® stands for yield increase in many broad acre crops.

The nematicide Velum^® (sold under the brand name Verango^®, e.g. in LATAM) is a true innovation for the global soil-applied nematode market. This nematicide with its new mode of action (SDHI) provides a unique combination of powerful, long-lasting and reliable efficacy against all relevant nematode species. 

Bayer’s fluopyram products are registered and sold in more than 80 countries and used on more than 80 different crops. They uniquely control fruit & vegetable “latent diseases” and key nematodes in the field, stopping diseases from developing after harvest and resulting in better produce storability and longer shelf-life. 

Due to its high level of efficacy, fluopyram can often replace older chemistry, resulting in reduced chemical loading per hectare and a much safer profile for the operator and the environment than traditional standards.

Fosetyl, known under the major brand Aliette, is a Plant Natural Defence enhancer: Fosetyl based solutions slow down significantly the invasion of the pathogen by reinforcing the defensive reactions of the plants, sealing-off the invading organism. With such a unique mode of action, it is highly unlikely to face resistance development. Thanks to its specific bioavailability properties new shoots, new growths of the plants are also protected. Fosetyl solutions are used worldwide, mostly in Grapes, but also Citrus, Pome fruits, Solanacees, Berries, and a number of other fruits and vegetables, for the protection they provide against major fungal and bacterial diseases.

Aclonifen is a herbicide active introduced to the market in the 80s. It is used in many crops such as sunflower, potatoes and peas but also in multiple so called “minor crops” like onion, garlic, shallots, parsley, dill and others. Just recently, the use in Cereals was introduced for the first time. Aclonifen is applied in pre emergence of crops. Early post-emergence applications are also possible in some crops using a reduced dose rate. Through its novel mode of action (classified as group 32: SDS inhibitor) Aclonifen acts as a resistance breaker for difficult to control weeds, matter particularly relevant for Cereals. The control spectrum of the active covers many dicots but also grass weeds. Common brand names are Bandur and Challenge, as well as Mateno (combination with Flufenacet and Diflufenican) for Cereals.

Ethephon is an important active ingredient used for plant growth regulation and registered in over 40 countries around the word. Important brands are Cerone^®, Finish^® and Ethrel^®. Ethephon is a systemic plant growth regulator belonging to the phoshonate family. It is fastly absorbed by the plant and releases ethylene which is a natural plant hormone. Ethylene influences directly several physiological processes (i.e. ripening, maturation) and stimulates the production of endogenous ethylene. Ethephon is taking up by the leaves and is transported to the vegetal tissues and translocated from the leaves to the plant tissues. Progressively, it is transformed into ethylene in the plant, modifying the growth processes stimulating the synthesis of phenol and lignine.

Ethephon is used in cereals (wheat, barley, rye and triticale) to increase resistance to lodging through straw shortening and strengthening. On fruits and vegetables to promote fruit maturity (early and uniform ripening and coloring of mature fruits), on ornamentals to stimulate flowering and side branching and to reduce plant height. On cotton to promote uniform boll opening and enhance defoliation.

Foramsulfuron is a compound which is already successfully used in corn for many years. It controls a broad spectrum of important annual and perennial grass weeds and broadleaved weeds. Foramsulfuron is one of the most effective active ingredients for the control of Sorghum halapense. It is mainly used between 3 leave and five leave stage of corn. Important brand names are Monsoon/Equipe, Monsoon active (combination with Thiencarbazone-methyl, MaisTer (combination with Iodosulfuron-methyl)/MaisTer power (combination with Iodosulfuron-methyl and Thiencarbazone-methyl).

In addition to corn, the active has been launched 2018 in sugar beets in many countries in Europe. In combination with Thiencarbazone-methyl (Brand name CONVISO one) Formsulfuron is part of an innovative system for the weed control in sugar beets that are tolerant to this mode of action. By using this system, the farmer can reduce the number of his herbicides treatments used today by approx. 50%.

Glyphosate is a versatile herbicide that has been used for more than 40 years by farmers, land managers, gardeners, and others to simply, safely, and effectively control problematic weeds. Since the introduction in 1974, glyphosate-based products have become the most commonly used herbicides in the world because of the ability to control a broad spectrum of weeds, the extensive economic and environmental benefits, and the strong safety profile. In the 1990s, combining glyphosate with crops that could withstand applications of this herbicide transformed agriculture in many parts of the world and modern agriculture biotechnology began. Our portfolio of glyphosate-based products will continue to be a very important part of our integrated weed management (IWM) offerings.

Isoxaflutole is a herbicide compound that has been successfully used for over 20 years and is a key tool of our portfolio in corn and sugarcane in Europe, North America and Latin America.  

During the early phases of the development, corn reacts very sensitive on weed competition: Isoxaflutole which can be used in this early phase from pre-emergence of corn until 3 leaf stage. The compound has a very strong residual efficacy and is able to provide a season control of a number of the most important annual grasses (e.g. Echinochloa species) and annual broadleaved weeds. To complete the weed spectrum Isoxaflutole is used in tank mixture with other herbicides. After a longer-lasting period of drought, the compound can be reactivated after rainfall within 4 weeks after application.  

Important brand names in Corn are Merlin^®flexx/ Balance^®flexx (combination with the Safener Cyprosulfamide), Adengo^®/ Corvus^® (combination with Thiencarbzone-methyl and Cyprosulfamide) and Lagon^® (combination with Aclonifen). In sugarcane the lead brand is Provence Total^®.
