Nantong jiangshan starts up new amide herbicides line

 Chinese agrochemical company Nantong Jiangshan has recently started up its first new methene-based amide herbicides line. “Comparing to the traditional etherification-based technology, methene-based amide herbicides technology is more advanced and popular in the world, which will increase the purity of the products and production yield.” Introduced by the general manager of Nantong Jiangshan. The purity of two amide herbicides, acetochlor and butachlor are said to be increased by 2-4%, production yield by 3-5%. The new technology will also generate less wastes and create safer working environment.
 
Amide herbicides are highly effective and selective against many kinds of weeds, widely used in peanuts, soybeans, corns, cottons and other crops. There is no consistent pattern in the mechanism of action of amide herbicides. Some are applied only to the soil and are active through the root system or seeds, while others are applied only to foliage.
 

Nantong Jiangshan is one of the leading pesticide manufactures in China, ranking No.10 among 2011 China Top 100 Pesticides Companies with sales amount to yuan 1,018 millions (US dollar 160 millions) in year of 2010.
