PHC launches new biocide SAORI in Mexico, zero MRL to help agricultural exports

Plant Health Care (PHC) recently announced that its new biocide SAORI has been approved by the Mexican Health Risk Commission COFEPRIS. The product is aimed at a variety of fungal diseases of Solanaceae and cucurbit family crops, such as tomato late blight, cucumber downy mildew and so on.

SAORI has a new mechanism of action to effectively combat diseases that have long plagued important cash crops in Mexico. As the world's largest exporter of cucumbers, SAORI's launch is particularly timely. The product has high environmental safety and is exempt from MRL requirements, which helps Mexican agricultural products enter high-standard markets such as Europe and the United States.

The industry believes that the listing of SAORI is of great significance to the development of sustainable agriculture in Mexico. It not only improves the effectiveness of crop pest control, but also fully meets the need to reduce pesticide use and protect the environment, and is an important help for farmers to access high-value export markets. The successful application of SAORI indicates that the global pesticide market will usher in more sustainable and environmentally friendly products, marking the further deepening of the concept of food safety and environmental protection.
