Pesticide Market ushered in Xiao Yangchun

The dry weather since the winter and spring has resulted in significant pests and diseases in crops that are significantly heavier than in the previous year. According to statistics from the Plant Protection Department, the area of ​​various types of pests and diseases this year is expected to exceed 6 billion mu. After entering the second quarter, with the temperature rising, the area of ​​diseases, insects, and weeds rapidly expanded, and the demand for pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides increased significantly. The market was bullish all the way, presenting a situation of both supply and demand.

Increased use of conventional pesticides

The recent control of wheat spiders and aphids, cabbage caterpillars, and underground pests has increased the use of conventional varieties of pesticides. The use of formazan salts, chlorfluazuron, octopine, marathione, and enemies for pest control in vegetables and fruits has increased significantly. Bifenthrin is used in tea plants to control tea leafhoppers and whiteflies. Demand for leaf miners increased. Due to the rapid expansion of greenhouse cultivation area, the occurrence of whitefly has risen sharply, and it has now become the main pest of vegetables, flowers, melons, **, and other crops. This makes imidacloprid, bupropazine, and marjoram esters favored by the market. Prices have also risen. Some imported insecticides have a good market demand. For example, Canada's flubendiamide (RySong), the largest importer of imported drugs in Canada last year, tops the import category, and chlorantraniliprole (Kang) and locusts from DuPont in the United States. Wei (Kane) and so on. This spring, the demand for dichlorvos has suddenly risen in response to the need to prevent field crop pests and post-drought health epidemic prevention. The large-scale pesticide production company Sanonda's dichlorvos crude oil is currently in short supply, and the inventory of preparations is also very small. In order to meet the market demand for dichlorvos, the company has achieved continuous production of dichlorvos. This year's output of dichlorvos will exceed 10,000 tons. After another large domestic enterprise, Nantong Jiangshan, moved into the park and in February of this year, trichlorfon and dichlorvos have been driving, making it smooth and profitable.

Prochloraz, triadimefon, hegemony market

The use of fungicides has been on an upward trend this year, and there are three main factors. First, the increase in planting area of ​​fruit trees, vegetables, and cultivated vegetables in facilities this year has increased significantly. These crops have caused a large number of types of diseases and the degree of disease has continued to increase, resulting in the use of fungicides. The increase is generally several times that of large crops. The second is the bulk crops, especially the food crops. Diseases in the varieties grown in the past two years are worse due to poor disease resistance. Third, the demand for antiseptics has increased due to the preservation of fresh fruits and industrial mildew.

As the temperature rises rapidly after the drought this year, wheat powdery mildew and stripe rust are heavier. As a result, triadimefon, tebuconazole, and carbendazim in the fungicide are expensive. The sharpness of wheat sheath blight makes Jinggangmycin highly sought after by the market. In order to solve the urgent needs of users, Jiangsu Qizhou Green Chemical Company is working overtime to manufacture triazole bactericides such as tricyclazole, triadimefon, propiconazole and tebuconazole. The company's marketing director told reporters that due to environmental reasons, many companies producing triazole fungicides have stopped production, resulting in a shortage of supply in the market, and triazole fungicides have a good market, is China's largest sales market in the fungicide class. The use of chlorothalonil, mancozeb, metalaxyl, and phosphine aluminum to control diseases such as field crop blight will increase. The 20% Thiazole Zinc Suspension Contained in China has been used to prevent diseases such as cucumber leaf spot, tomato and Chinese cabbage soft rot in greenhouse cultivation, and the seedling protection effect is very prominent.

At the same time, the supply of prochloraz is in short supply, and many users ask the pesticide production and distribution department where they can buy prochloraz. Because prochloraz is a low-toxicity pesticide, it can be widely used to prevent diseases of mushrooms, citrus, cucumbers, mangoes, bananas, and rice, and can also be used for fruit preservation, which is highly praised by the market. At present, the original drug of prochloraz is between 66,000 yuan and 68,000 yuan (ton price, the same below), which is up 15,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan per ton in the first quarter of this year. The manager of Hangzhou Qingfeng Agrochemical Market told the reporter that the reason for the increase in the price of mesalamine was that the price of intermediates was rising, and the second was to promote the prevention and control of the area to a certain extent. Jiangsu Huifeng is the largest company in China in terms of production of prochloraz. In the face of increasing demand year after year, the company plans to produce about 3,000 tons of raw drugs this year, and has developed copper salts of prochloraz suitable for market demand, and prochloraz. Zinc salts and other proprietary drugs and preparations derived from proprietary intellectual property.

Trifluralin, 2,4-D market sales

The larger amount of herbicide used in the south is glyphosate and quinone, because some of the no-tillage fields such as rice and orchards have a greater demand for phytotoxic herbicides. The damage of grassy weeds in wheat fields in northern China has been aggravated, and the demand for some new highly selective herbicides such as tribenuron is increasing. Rape returned to green in early March. After the temperature rises, the market demand for efficient grass-seedling and stable stabilization of grassy weeds in rapeseed field is heating up. The sales of herbicides generally began in late March. Distribution and sales of the herbicides were relatively large. The inventory of domestic dealers last year was relatively large, and the products were highly homogenized and the competition was fierce.

Trifluralin and 2,4-D are more scarce in herbicides. Trifluralin is a cotton herbicide and this year the market is optimistic about the reason is the ferocious increase in cotton prices. Under the situation that the cotton market is going well, the cotton acreage in all provinces is increasing in 2011, and farmers have increased the use of trifluralin. The price of 96% trifluralin drug is currently 19,000 yuan, up 12% from 17,000 yuan in the same period of last year. Although 2,4-D is an old product with a history of more than 50 years, its high activity, broad spectrum of herbicides, and wide range of uses make it an important reason for farmers to become a family. China's 2,4-D production capacity is relatively large. However, since last year, many companies have failed to handle waste water and waste gas in the production process. They have been ordered to suspend production by the environmental protection department, which has led to a sharp drop in output, and increased demand has created a shortage of supply in the market. At present, the price of 2,4-D butyl ester raw medicine is 18,000 yuan, which is 7.2% higher than the 1.68 million yuan in the same period of last year. The manager of a pesticide import and export company in Ningbo told reporters that the prices of trifluralin and 2,4-D export are all rising, and trifluralin is driving up the export volume due to the rise in international cotton prices. In recent years, the sales volume of 2,4-D international market was around US$430 million, and the main reason for the increase in sales was the rapid increase in the area of ​​2,4-D transgenic crops worldwide, bringing new exports to 2,4-D.
