Pyraflufen-ethyl, from the phenylpirazole family (already listed in Annex 1), is a contact herbicide and desiccant. The product acts by inhibiting the enzyme PPO (Protoporphyrinogen oxidase), which is essential in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll.  It has low solubility and no volatility, thus making it non-residual in soil with good selectivity towards cultivated plants.

The results of the 2008-2010 trials, in a joint development program with Sipcam have proved the efficacy of pyraflufen-ethyl in controlling grapevine shoots and fruit tree suckers successfully, demonstrating both speed of action and duration of effect. The data collected has shown better performance than the market standard, gluphosinate ammonium, and, in particular, rapid action and flexibility of application timing.  In addition, pyraflufen-ethyl has proved to have good efficacy against broad-leaved weeds present in vineyards and fruit orchards. In addition, the product has shown very good result in use as a potato dessicant.

The collected data on grape and fruits were presented at the national Giornate Fitopatologiche 2010 and a new update on potato will be presented during the Giornate Fitopatologiche 2012, an important technical venue for the industry to present new pesticides for the domestic market.
The product will be launched by Certis in spring 2012 with the brand Piramax. This new product fits with Certis Europe’s objectives and strategy for future growth. Alongside other new products currently in development, pyraflufen-ethyl will play its part in strengthening the Certis portfolio in the grapevine and fruit market.

Since its launch in November 2001 Certis has grown rapidly across Europe from its origins in UK, France, Holland and Belgium. Important factors driving this growth have been the development and launch of new products from shareholders and key suppliers and the establishment of new offices in southern Europe. The business has achieved 18% compound annual growth rate since its launch, pushing through the €100m sales barrier in early 2008 from a start point of €25m in 2001.

From its original position as a supplier of crop protection products and solutions to the high value and speciality crop sectors of fruit, vegetables and flowers, the company has more recently expanded its portfolio into arable crops where it has achieved significant growth in UK and France.
A farmer’s son from Dorset in the UK, Mark Waltham held technical and commercial roles in Certis UK and Certis Europe before moving to Syngenta in Switzerland for 5 years, where he was latterly Head of Strategy, Business Development and Global Product Management in the Lawn and Garden business. He returned to Certis Europe in late 2009 and takes up his new position as CEO with effect from the 1st July]]> News Thu, 30 Jun 2011 13:19:00 +0200 http://www.certiseurope.com/detail/article/certis-europe-granted-patent-on-aswirskii.html Certis Europe has been granted a patent on the production method of predator mite A.Swirskii Amblyseius swirskii, used for biological control of thrips and whitefly,using the prey mite, Suidasia medanensis.  The patent was granted by the European Patent Office in May 2011. A. swirskii is mainly used in pepper and cucumber crops but its potential is also being increasingly realized in cut flowers and ornamentals.  The ability of swirskii to become very rapidly established and suppress pest populations sets it apart from other beneficial organisms.

This development offers Certis Europe the strategic advantage of establishing new licensing and supply partnerships for Certis swirskii.]]> News Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:17:00 +0200 http://www.certiseurope.com/detail/article/certis-europe-appoints-head-of-regulatory-affairs-europe.html Benoît Cambon has joined Certis Europe as Head of Regulatory Affairs, Europe.

This development and distribution agreement between the companies was signed in January 2011 by Bill Lingren, President and CEO of Trécé and Bob Skillicorn, CEO of Certis Europe BV.

Trécé Inc. has developed and is further developing a product range for mating disruption uses in plant protection under the trade name CIDETRAK. This  does not yet have regulatory approval for sales in Europe. Certis Europe is experienced in securing regulatory approval for similar products and their subsequent distribution and sale in Europe. Trécé Inc. and Certis Europe B.V. have decided to co-operate in securing regulatory approval and in the development of markets for the CIDETRAK product range and eventually any similar products developed by Trécé Inc. within Europe in the future. This could also include the Trécé Inc. PHEROCON range of products for monitoring and trapping. Key markets for CIDETRAK are apples and pears, peaches, nectarines and grapes.

The CIDETRAK technology and product range provides an exciting new opportunity for Certis Europe and offers a good fit with its existing and developing range of chemistry, soft chemistry, natural products and beneficials. Especially in Southern Europe it is a welcome addition to the existing portfolio.

First regulatory approval and sales are expected for 2012.
