01-26-2010: DuPont has applied to regulatory authorities in the European Union, represented by the U.K., as well as Canada and the U.S. for registration of two new crop protection disease control products. These countries will conduct a joint review as part of an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Work Share project for regulatory harmonization. The two new fungicides, DuPont™ Fontelis™ and DuPont™ Vertisan™ will provide growers with preventive and curative disease control for a wide range of grain, fruit and vegetable crops.

“We look forward to providing these new tools to growers looking to maximize yield and quality with innovative answers to disease control issues,” said Jim Collins, president – Crop Protection. “These new products are another example of how DuPont Crop Protection is using market-driven science to help growers meet the global demand for increased food production.”

Submitting the regulatory package for the fungicides is a milestone for DuPont. The company anticipates launching the new fungicides as early as 2011. DuPont also plans to develop additional products based on the active ingredient — penthiopyrad. Each of the new products will provide unique advantages to growers.
