The government is in the process of re-aligning UK pesticide legislation with that in Europe and while this could simplify the situation for approvals in Northern Ireland, the devil will be in the detail and this has not yet been agreed.  The plan is to finalise the new agreement by mid-2027 and more details are given at: read more at GOV.UK.

Also of interest are two new active ingredient combinations – clomazone + dimethenamid-P from BASF and cyazofamid + valifenalate from Certis Belchim.  See below for details.

New Approvals by Company:

Certis Belchim

  • has a novel potato fungicide containing cyazofamid + valifenalate. The product is called Areli (M21603) and it is listed as a full entry following confirmation of intent to sell this season.
  • The company has also duplicated its Sunfire product with a new MAPP No (M21620, flufenacet) for use in GB only with no changes from the current product (M16745).

Adama

  • has duplicated the approvals of Cleancrop National and Domitrel with new MAPP Nos (M21631 & 21634, pendimethalin). For Cleancrop National the original is marketed by Agrii while the new approval is listed as marketed by Origin.  Both Domitrels are marketed by Syngenta. The expiry dates have been amended to 31/3/2028 for the Originals while approval of the new ones lasts until 15/7/2029.

Agrii

  • has another Broadway Star mimic in Cleancrop Limelight (M21595, florasulam + pyroxsulam) and it has been added as PAR.

FMC

  • has duplicated the approval of Harmony M SX (M18824 & 21643, metsulfuron + thifensulfuron-methyl) with amendments to the expiry dates. The original now expires 30/9/2027 while the new one lasts until 28/2/2029.  Previously the expiry date was 9/9/2099!
  • A similar exercise has been done with Avro SX (M18771 & 21636, metsulfuron-me + thifensulfuron-me).

Nufarm

  • has obtained a Herboxone 60 approval from FMC (M21616, 2,4-D) which includes the use on wheat, barley, oats and rye undersown with grass or clover.
  • The company has also re-introduced a straight dichlorprop-P product called Flavius (M21601) which is approved for use in wheat, barley and oats.

Agronaturalis

  • has gained a new approval for its Karbicure (M21552, potassium hydrogen carbonate) which is approved for use in GB only until 29/2/2032 and which adds oilseed rape to the list of approved crops while the approval of the original product in both GB and NI is reduced to 31/8/2027.

Albaugh

  • has duplicated its Axentum and Multivo 500 SC folpet products with new MAPP Nos (M21597, 21609 & 21610) which, unlike the originals (M21503 & 21539), are approved for use in GB and M21503, M21540 & 21542 are only approved for use in GB.
  • The company has also duplicated its straight prothioconazole product Euskatel which is now also available as Skeldon (M21640).

Sharda

  • continues to build its portfolio with new names and MAPP Nos for its Broadway Star mimics which is now approved as Orbit, Novax & Tremis (M21461, 21619 & 21614, florasulam + pyroxsulam). All are only approved for use in GB.
  • The company has also duplicated its Branch product with a new MAPP No (M21621, mepiquat chloride + prohexadione calcium). Both products are only approved for use in GB but the new approval also adds oats and spring barley to the label.
  • Also new to the Sharda portfolio is Meqi (M21637, metazahlor + quinmerac) which mimics Katamaran from BASF in oilseed rape.

BASF

  • has gained approval for a new product containing clomazone and di-methenamid-P (M21454) which can be used for pre-emergence weed control in oilseed rape, peas and beans with the approval including soya beans. It is currently listed as PAR but will be upgraded to a full entry when confirmed by BASF.
  • BASF has also copied its fluxapyroxad + mefentrifluconazole product Lentyma XE (M19301) with a new name and MAPP No (Revygold, M21594) but while Lentyma XE expires 30/11/2027, Revygold approval runs until 30/4/2030.

Bayer

  • has duplicated its Pacifica Plus product with a new MAPP No (M21635, amidosulfuron + iodosulfuron-methyl + mesosulfuron) and while it was approved until 9/9/99 the original now expires 30/9/27 and the new one lasts until 31/5/2029.
  • Bayer has also duplicated its diflufenican + flufenacet product Herold with a new MAPP No (M21629) for use in GB only, updating the hazard precautions to the new standardised wording (H… instead of R…).
  • Another change is that Bayer does not support the use of Silvron Xpro (M19384, bixafen + fluopyram) on barley and the latest approval doc only lists wheat as an approved crop. Barley has been deleted from the on-line UKPG entry but is still listed in the 2026 book.

Clayton

  • has two new 360 g/l glyphosate products in Clayton Overlord and Clayton Trafalgar (M21626, 21638 & 21625, 21627) with different MAPP Nos for use in GB versus NI. All lack the approval on vining peas that other 360 g/l glyphosates have on its labels.
  • Clayton has also gained a straight tribenuron-methyl product with claims similar to Cameo SX from FMC and the product is called Clayton Furlong (M21602) but it is only approved for use in GB.
  • Another addition to the Clayton portfolio is a new MAPP No for Clayton Truss. It now is listed by MAPP Nos 21245, 21417 & 21596.  All are only approved for use in GB but the approval of M21417 has been reduced to 30/11/2029.
  • Anther addition to the Clayton portfolio is a 747.8 g/l chlormequat product called Clayton Acrow (M21641) which is only approved for use in GB.

Corteva

  • Corteva has done the same with Cardinal (fluroxypyr + halauxifen-me + triclopyr) which is now also called Elevor (M21611) but this is for use in GB only and the label is restricted to amenity grassland only.

Sipcam

  • has another acetic acid product called Total Weed and Moss Killer (M21618) for use in home and garden situations but is approved for professional use.

Syngenta

  • has a new chlorantraniliprole approval in Lanzarta (M21622) which is approved for caterpillar control in forest and in protected ornamentals under permanent protection with full enclosure.
  • The company has also duplicated its Universalis (azoxystrobin + folpet) with a new MAPP No (M21623) for use in GB only. The original (M20603) is approved for use in GB and NI but expires 22/5/2027.
  • Syngenta has also duplicated its azoxystrobin + folpet product Amistar Max (M20664 & 21633) but while the former is approved in GB & NI until 20/5/2027, the new approval is for GB only until 31/1/2032.

Changes to approval expiry dates:  CRD have extended the approvals of a number of products and actives, most of which are detailed below.

  • The approval of Garlon Ultra and Icade (M19758 & 19069, aminopyralid + triclopyr) has been reduced by two months to 30/9/2029.
  • The approval of Martiste (M20033, prothioconazole + tebuconazole) has been extended to 15/2/2028.

  • The approval of Speedline Pro (M19282, aminopyralid + triclopyr) has also been reduced by a couple of months to 30/9/2029.
  • The approval of a number of straight prothioconazole products such as Abran 250 (M19737), Patton (M20750), Teko (M19804), Trinity 250 (M19732) and Dagda (M19803) have been extended until 30/9/2029.
  • The approval of Bezel (M21112, metsulfuron-methyl) has been extended to 28/2/2029.
  • The approval of Raxil Star (M17805, fluopyram + prothioconazole + tebuconazole) has been extended to 15/2/2029.
  • The approval of Ergon (M20656, metsulfuron + thifensulfuron) has been extended to 28/2/2029.
  • The approval of Plaxium (M21149, fluopyram, isoflucypram + prothioconazole) has been reduced by 15 months to 4/3/2030.
