ANALYZING THE GENERIC PESTICIDE MARKET WITH RETAIL DEALERS.Obtaining accurate market share information on generic pesticide products has always been difficult. Ask farmers what they used on their beans, and many will say Treflan even if they used Tri-4 or Trilin or one of the other trifluralin trifluralin a dinitroaniline compound used as a weedicide. Excessive, accidental access causes diarrhea, anorexia, nervousness. trifluralin Parasitology A dinitroaniline herbicide, which at micromolar concentrations selectively inhibits the brands on the market. Ditto for 2,4-D. Most growers know the difference between the chemicals 2,4-D and MCPA MCPA, MCP 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid; a weedkiller reported to be nontoxic at the levels likely to be encountered on pasture, though it has killed cattle dosed experimentally with large single doses. , but don't expect an accurate answer on the exact brand or company that produced it. They just don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party. . With the increase in generic products reaching the market, St. Louis-based Doane Marketing Research Inc. realized that the ag-chem industry needed a more accurate source for analyzing this market. The company surveyed 1,000 ag-chem retail dealers for 2000 sales and 2001 intentions for 16 of the most important generic active ingredients An active ingredient, also active pharmaceutical ingredient (or API), is the substance in a drug that is pharmaceutically active. Some medications may contain more than one active ingredient. in today's marketplace. The results are reported in Doane's first U.S. Dealer Brand Share Study. The study found that a total of 32.6 million pounds (active ingredient) of phenoxy product were sold in 2000 at a retail value of $200.7 million. The surveyed dealers expect to sell 34.4 million pounds in 2001, an increase of 5.7 percent. THE 16 GENERIC CHEMICALS RESEARCHED IN THIS STUDY WERE: Acephate Chlorpyrifos Mancozeb Phenoxies(2) Atrazine Dicamba Mepiquat Pyrethroids(3) Bromoxynil Ethephon Metolachlor(1) Simazine Chlorothalonil Glyphosate Pendimethalin Trifluralin (1) Includes the R and S isomer isomer (ī`səmər), in chemistry, one of two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different structures (arrangements of atoms in the molecule). Isomerism is the occurrence of such compounds. forms (2) Includes 2,4-D, 2,4-DB, MCPA and mecoprop (3) Consists of all pyrethroids pyrethroids synthetic substances with activity similar to the naturally occurring pyrethrins. They include cypermethrin, cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, flumethrin, permethrin. , including chemistries not off-patent THE TOP FIVE PHENOXY HERBICIDES A phenoxy herbicide is any member of a family of chemicals related to the growth hormone indoleacetic acid (IAA). When sprayed on broad-leaf plants they induce rapid, uncontrolled growth, eventually killing them. SOLD IN 2000 AND THEIR MARKET SHARES WERE:
