Lier Chemical Registers Aminopyralid Tech in China

Posted by Jackie Pucci|29 July 2016

Lier Chemical Co., Ltd. is the first Chinese company that is approved to register aminopyralid technical (95%), according to the China Crop Protection Industry Council.

Previously, Dow AgroSciences was the sole company in China registering aminopyralid technical (91.6%) and formulation (21% aqua). Sino-Agri Leading (Tianjing) Agrochemicals Co., Ltd. held the registration for repackaging the formulation product.

Aminopyralid is a new-type picolinic acid herbicide and is widely used to prevent and destroy weeds on mountainous lands, grasslands, cultivated areas and uncultivated area. It is currently being developed to destroy weeds on rape fields and cereal crop fields. The agent has low toxicity and is not teratogenic, mutagenic or carcinogenic and has no side effect on the endocrine system or the reproductive system, says CCPIA.
