China丨SINO-AGRI got the patent authorization for the invention of new Pendimethalin formulation

Recently, another invention patent of SINO-AGRI, which was entitled “A SC of Pendimethalin and a Method with Low Energy Consumption”, was authorized by the State Intellectual Property Office, patent number is ZL202010940034.4.

The invention relates to a kind of herbicide -- Pendimethalin, which is an excellent herbicide for dry crops and can be widely used for weeding of corn, soybean, cotton and other crops. It is the world's top selective herbicide by sales and the largest 2-Nitroaniline herbicide by sales. At present, the main formulation form of Pendimethalin is EC, but the EC uses many Aromatics solvent, which has adverse effects on the environment and wastes a lot of chemical resources. Therefore, a new formulation form of Pendimethalin as an alternative to EC is required. On the base of preliminary work, after many trials, the team solved the problem of low melting point and easy to crystallization paste during storage, and got a good performance of Pendimethalin SC, containing no organic solvent. It is conducive to protect the agricultural ecological environment, reduces the pollution to the environment, and provides the method of Pendimethalin SC with low production cost and improved production efficiency.

Up to now, the company has obtained 14 patent authorizations of national invention, and a lot of patents are being declared. The company has been focusing on the exploration and research of pesticide application technology, plant protection technology and modern circulation service technology, and has built a complete service system of plant protection product development, technology application research, experiment and demonstration and promotion.
