First registration for corn herbicide Adengo

Monheim – Bayer CropScience has reached a further milestone in the expansion of its successful product portfolio with the granting of the first regulatory approval for its new corn herbicide thiencarbazone-methyl in Romania. The market launch of this innovative product under the brand name Adengo® is scheduled for 2009. Further registrations for products based on thiencarbazone-methyl are expected in major European corn-growing countries, along with the United States and Argentina, during 2009. After tembotrione and pyrasulfotole, this is the third new herbicidal active ingredient from Bayer CropScience’s research and development pipeline that has been brought to market since 2007. Bayer CropScience puts the annual sales potential of the new corn herbicide at over €100 million.
