Impact® is a systemic fungicide used against fungal pathogens in for example cereals, soybeans, coffee, corn, beets, and rape. Impact® is effective against the most essential seed-borne diseases in cereals.

ICI introduced Impact® in 1981. Since its introduction the compound has attained an important position in the global fungicide market, where Impact® products have proved effective in controlling a vast number of diseases affecting a wide range of crops.

In April 2001, Cheminova acquired the global flutriafol business from Syngenta, including all of the rights, know-how, registrations, and trademarks for the product. Today, Cheminova sells the product throughout the world as a foliar application product for cereals and other arable crops, as a microgranule product for use in coffee and maize and as a seed treatment product for the control of major seed-borne and soil-borne diseases in cereals. The foliar products are mainly marketed under the well-known trade name Impact® whereas the seed treatment products are sold under the trade name Vincit®.

Flutriafol is an important product in Cheminova’s product portfolio and consequently Cheminova will devote considerable effort into supporting and developing the compound in the market.
