Mexico and Guatemala have granted registrations for Arysta LifeScience’s MIDAS, a broad spectrum soil fumigant that controls soil-borne diseases, nematodes, weed seeds and insects.
据 Arysta 称，碘甲烷是 MIDAS 中的活性成分，最初是由美国研究人员开发出来作为甲基溴的替代品。 MIDAS 是一种独特的化学物质，与甲基溴相比，每英亩使用的产品磅数更少。
“As countries around the world continue to phase out methyl bromide in accordance with the provisions of the Montreal Protocol, growers need an effective tool that provides a similar level of crop protection,” said Hildo Brilleman, global marketing manager of fumigants and herbicides for Arysta LifeScience in a statement.
MIDAS received technical registration in Mexico in August 2010 following an extensive review by officials at the Federal Health Protection Commission and Health Commission Authority, with the commercial registration of MIDAS 98:2 following in August 2011, according to Arysta. A commercial launch is planned for 2012. MIDAS 98:2 will be applied via drip injection and shank application in fields where tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, berries and melons will be grown.
2011 年 7 月，危地马拉农业、畜牧业和食品部批准了 MIDAS 98 通过滴注和柄进行种植前土壤应用的注册。据该公司称，MIDAS 98 已获准在甜瓜和西红柿的商业种植之前使用，并计划于 2012 年推出商业产品。
除了墨西哥和危地马拉，MIDAS还在美国、日本、土耳其、新西兰、乌拉圭和摩洛哥注册。澳大利亚、埃及、以色列和南非的其他注册正在等待中。
