Syngenta launches Tymirium technology in Brazil

Syngenta announced that it has obtained registration in Brazil for a technology aimed at combating nematodes and soil diseases. According to the company, cyclobutrifluram - trademark Tymirium - provides control against nematodes and pathogens such as Fusarium spp., Macrophomina spp. And sclerotinia spp.

With nematicidal and fungicidal action, the molecule can be applied to various crops. It acts systemically and provides prolonged protection, which favors increased productivity.

In addition to protecting the plant above and below ground, Tymirium contributes to preserving soil health. It has low toxicity, does not interfere with macro and microbiological activity and is compatible with biological products, says Syngenta. Its high selectivity ensures safety for pollinators and other beneficial insects.

According to Fernando Godinho, researcher and professor at the Goiano Federal Institute, the technology represents an advance in the integrated management of nematodes. The flexibility in application and the residuality of the molecule make the product a versatile tool in the field.

Leo Zappe, Syngenta’s seedcare marketing director, said the launch marks an important step towards sustainable agriculture. The new solution strengthens the root system, improves nutrient uptake and increases plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

UPDATE (05/07/2025): There are still no commercial products containing the molecule cyclobutrifluram registered in Brazil. This article refers to the publication of the approval of the registration of "technical cyclobutrifluram", a stage prior to commercialization.

There are applications for registration of the following commercial products: Onvivis (cyclobutrifluram); Onvivis Pro (cyclobutrifluram); Perzavo (cyclobutrifluram); Perzavo Pro (cyclobutrifluram); Terxavo (cyclobutrifluram); Vaniva (cyclobutrifluram); and Victrato Gold (cyclobutrifluram; difenoconazole; fludioxonil; metalaxyl-M).
