ベレラ™ is a fungicide containing パベクト as its active ingredient and has obtained crop registration for soybeans in Paraguay. It is expected to provide control of diseases including brown spot, frogeye leaf spot in the later growth stages and brown leaf spot.
Products containing パベクト began domestic sales in 2023. In addition to this launch, regulatory reviews are under way in major markets including Brazil and Europe. The company plans to continue working toward obtaining registrations at an early date.
