Syngenta has announced that its succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide Solatenol (benzovindiflupyr) has received EU approval. Solatenol is reportedly effective against a number of diseases in cereal production, including Septoria spp. and rusts. The product will initially be made available for sale in France during the 2016 season, with Syngenta targeting a peak sales potential of $200 m. across Europe.

Solatenol has recently been approved in the USA (see AgreWorld 1^stSeptember 2015) and Canada (see AgreWorld 2^nd September 2015), and is anticipated for commercial launch in those regions this year.
