France approves Syngenta's fungicide ELATUS™ Plus

On 28th July, Syngenta received registration in the rapporteur state, France, for the ELATUS™ Plus which is based on the novel carboxamide fungicide SOLATENOL™.

This is the first European registration for a SOLATENOL™ based product and will allow sales of ELATUS™ Plus in France this year, in time for the 2016-17 growing season.

Regulatory submissions for SOLATENOL™ products are under review throughout Europe with further regulatory approvals expected in due course.

In France SOLATENOL™ products will initially be sold under the ELATUS™ Plus brand in a range of co-packs focused on cereals.

SOLATENOL™ shows outstanding potency against all key cereal diseases and provides long lasting control. Together this results in very high levels of leaf protection and corresponding yield benefits for the grower.
