BASF to supply triticonazole fungicide to Bayer Environmental Science
23 Jan, 2008 LM Direct!RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, -- BASF Crop Protection announced it has agreed to provide limited access to triticonazole fungicide to Bayer Environmental Science for United States and Canadian turf and landscape ornamental uses. The supply agreement between BASF and Bayer is for certain uses including professional sports turf, golf, landscaping and professional lawn care. BASF maintains all the rights to the active ingredient to sell the compound in all the markets where it is registered.
Triticonazole is the active ingredient in Trinity fungicide; BASF will continue to support the successful launch of Trinity and will continue to develop additional differentiated triticonazole product offerings. Trinity is a key element of BASF's fungicide strategy, and BASF is investing in the continued growth and development of the molecule.
"BASF sees this as an opportunity for the expanded use of the triticonazole compound, as customers demand leading technology to replace older turf fungicides," said Markus Heldt, group vice president, BASF Crop Protection. "By providing access to Bayer we at BASF are enlarging the opportunity for this powerful new chemistry."
"We are excited about the addition of Chipco Triton to our market-leading fungicide portfolio," said Josh Weeks, vice president, professional products, Bayer Environmental Science. "This agreement allows Bayer to bring an even broader range of valued chemistry to our customers."
Bayer Environmental Science, a business unit of Bayer CropScience, is a leader in environmental science and provides innovative products to professionals and consumers for turf and ornamentals, termite control, general insect control and vector control applications.
