After the introduction of Bt GMOs in 2013/14, the use of methomyl has been decreasing in Brazil. Nevertheless during this season farmers increased the applications of the product in order to control Spodoptera, as it was observed lower efficacy by Bt GMOs.
 
Considering the formulated mixture registration was approved in 2015 and its imports in 2018 were more than 330 m tons of equivalent technical product, and there are more 2 important months until the end of the year, total imports of equivalent technical methomyl could reach more than 2,300 m tons, a considerable amount, but quite far from 4-5 years ago.
 
AllierBrasil is organizing AgriTour Brazil to visit soybean, maize, sugar-cane and citrus farms and dealers from December 9-19th. This is a good opportunity to understand and identify trends of the market.
