Flutriafol is a systemic fungicide used against fungal pathogens in for example grain, coffee, corn, beets, and rape. In addition to being sprayed on leaves, flutriafol can be used for the treatment of seeds. Vincit® is effective against the most essential seed-borne diseases in cereals.

ICI introduced flutriafol in 1981. Since its introduction the compound has attained an important position in the global fungicide market, where flutriafol 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 seedborne 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 the compound in the market.
