Canada to Approve Syngenta's Bicyclopyrone
Date:02-19-2015
The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has proposed the full registration for the sale and use of Syngenta's bicyclopyrone technical, the manufacturing concentrate products bicyclopyrone wet paste I and bicyclopyrone wet paste II, and the end-use product SYNA16003 herbicide (bicyclopyrone 200 g/litre) ,to control specific weeds in field, sweet and seed corn.
PMRA also proposed for the full registration for the company's Acuron herbicide(bicyclopyrone 7.1 g/litre + mesotrione 28.5 g/litre + atrazine 120 g/litre + s-metolachlor 257 g/litre), to control specific weeds in field, sweet and seed corn.
Before making a final registration decision on bicyclopyrone, the PMRA will consider any comments received from the public.
Bicyclopyrone is a Group 27 Herbicide. It acts in susceptible plants by inhibiting the biosynthesis of carotenoids and leading to the destruction of chlorophyll. The mode of action of bicyclopyrone is shared with several other commercial herbicide active ingredients, specifically, mesotrione, isoxaflutole, topramezone, tembotrione and pyrasulfatole. Bicyclopyrone is efficacious against select broadleaf weeds as well as proso millet (a difficult to control grassy weed).
