Weekly Report on Pesticide Technicals: Oxyfluorfen Surges to $18,915 per ton, Yet Downstream Demand Stalls?

Last week,the domestic market for pesticide technicals continued its weak consolidation trend.The release of enduser demand was sluggish,and purchasing intent from downstream channels was generally weak,resulting in limited overall trading activity as most market participants adopted a wait-andsee attitude.Against this backdrop,the internal market divergence became more pronounced:a few products found price support due to supply-side contractions,while the majority continued their downward trend under the pressure of a supply-demand imbalance.

New Trends in the Seed Treatment Market for H1 2025: Focusing on Peanuts and Wheat, Uncovering Opportunities in Five Major Crops

Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture, and seed treatment agents are the key technology that outfits these "chips" with high-tech "armor." By scientifically formulating fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, and film-forming agents, seed treatments provide a protective yet permeable coating for seeds. This technology not only prevents pests and diseases from the source but also significantly enhances crop stress resistance and final yield. It is a vital pathway to standardizing seed quality, reducing pesticide use, and protecting the agricultural ecosystem.

Securing the Autumn Harvest: The "One-Spray, Multi-Effect" Technique Boosts Stable and High Yields

With the "Start of Autumn" (Lìqiū) solar term now past, China's autumn grain production has entered its most critical stage of yield formation. To confront the multiple challenges of high temperatures, drought, flooding, and pests and diseases, a field management technique known as "One-Spray, Multi-Effect" is emerging as a powerful tool for securing the harvest. This technique involves the scientific blending and single-application spraying of foliar fertilizers, plant growth regulators, and pesticides to achieve the combined goals of disaster mitigation, nutrient supplementation, pest and disease control, and growth promotion, providing strong technical support for stable and high yields of rice, corn, and soybeans.
