2026 Abstract - PLINAZOLIN TECHNOLOGY: AGRICULTURAL INSECT CONTROL: In an era where innovative crop protection solutions are crucial for sustainable agriculture, the introduction of PLINAZOLIN® technology, upon registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will represent a new offering in insect control. This presentation explores the journey of bringing this novel active ingredient to market amid evolving regulatory frameworks, particularly as the first insecticide to undergo the EPA's new Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the rigorous regulatory process, including detailed examination of ESA compliance protocols and their implications for future crop protection products. The discussion will showcase the technology's unique mode of action and its demonstrated effectiveness in controlling yield-limiting insect pests across key row crops. © 2025 Syngenta.
