BASF Agricultural Solutions Begins Global Registration of Novel PPO Herbicide Replexor™ Active
BASF Agricultural Solutions has initiated the global registration process for its new herbicide active ingredient, Replexor™ Active (fendioxypyracil), a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor. The first regulatory dossiers have been submitted in Brazil and Australia with plans to file in the United States and Argentina by 2027. If approved, market introductions are expected around 2030. Replexor Active is designed for broad-spectrum weed control on both broadleaf weeds and grasses, including species like Eleusine indica and Echinochloa spp., where PPO resistance remains rare. It offers fast action, low application rates, compatibility with no-till farming practices, and supports integrated weed management strategies. The herbicide is part of BASF's broader innovation pipeline in crop protection aimed at addressing the growing challenge of herbicide-resistant weeds while reducing environmental impact.
