BASF Crop Protection unveiled a new active ingredient called Xemium ™. This proprietary substance is the next generation fungicide of the chemical class of carboxamides, also known as SDH (Succinate Dehydrogenase) inhibitors, which describes their mode of action. Field trials show Xemium to be a highly effective and selective fungicide against major diseases in cereals, soybeans, corn, oilseed rape and specialty crops.
 
BASF has submitted registration dossiers worldwide. Depending on regulatory approval, first market introductions are planned for 2012 in North and South-America as well as in Europe.
 
"Our years of experience with carboxamides enabled us to discover Xemium, which is a perfect extension of our current fungicide portfolio. The unique mobility in the plant and the high inhibition of fungal target enzymes deliver excellent disease control,” says Christoph Wegner, head of Research and Development at BASF’s Crop Protection division.
 
Xemium combines superior residual activity with continuous delivery of the active ingredient from leaf depots, giving farmers maximum flexibility and reliability.
 
In co-formulations with F 500, azoles and other BASF active ingredients, Xemium will complement BASF’s product offering and provide farmers with solutions to control diseases more effectively. Growers applying Xemium will benefit from higher yields with improved quality.
