BASF said that it has submitted the regulatory dossier for its fungicide active ingredient Revysol^®, which will be produced at its Hannibal, Miss. facility.

The dossier was sent to authorities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, according to ‎Global External Communications & Brand Strategy Manager Jasmin Tortop.
 
Tortop described Revysol as “an innovative and highly effective fungicide active ingredient from the triazole chemical class.”
 
“Our strategy of focusing on novel chemistry, particularly in the light of increasing resistance and disease pressure, has paid off,” said Jürgen Huff, Senior Vice President Global Strategic Marketing, BASF Crop Protection. “We are convinced that Revysol has all the potential to become the next blockbuster active ingredient after F500^® and Xemium^®.

“Beyond benefits for row and specialty crop growers, Revysol fungicide will also provide a new option for the turf management and seed treatment markets. In addition to the potential to maximize crop quality and yield in a sustainable way, the proprietary fungicide will play an important role in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.”

Pending regulatory approval, first market introductions are expected for 2019/2020 use season, Tortop said.
