Eight of the new active ingredients (ais) are from Chinese companies and six of which from Shenyang Research Institute of Chemical Industry (SRICI). The ten ais include six fungicides, one acaricide, one insecticide, one fungicide/ acaricide and one attractant.

Flufenoxystrobin is a fungicide/acaricide, being developed under the code name, SYP-3759, the name “fujunmanzhi” (氟菌螨酯) is approved in China. coumoxystrobin is being developed under the code name, SYP-3375, and the name "dingxiangjunzhi” (丁香菌酯) is used in China. enoxastrobin is being developed under the code name, SYP-Z071, and the name “enestroburin” (烯肟菌酯) is approved in China, and the name “xiwojunzhi” has also been used.

Fenaminstrobin (development code: SYP-1620) is a methoxyiminoacetamide strobilurin fungicide from SRICI, the name “xiwojunan” (烯肟菌胺) is used in China. Pyrisoxazole (SYP-48) is a fungicide containing oxazole and pyridine rings, it also called “dingjunezuo” (啶菌噁唑) in China.
