What's Happening?
The ISO 1750 Maintenance Agency has provisionally approved 'enprocymid' as the common name for a new pyrazolecarboxamide fungicide developed by Jiangsu Flag Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. This approval, granted on August 16, 2025, is part of ISO's efforts to standardize pesticide names globally. Enprocymid is chemically designated as N-cyclopropyl-N-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-propen-1-yl]-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. Stakeholders are invited to submit objections by February 16, 2026, if they believe the name conflicts with existing trademarks.

Why It's Important?
The approval of enprocymid as a common name is significant for the agricultural sector, as it ensures uniformity in the naming of pesticides, facilitating easier communication and trade across borders. This fungicide could offer new solutions for crop protection, potentially enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability. The standardization process also helps in regulatory compliance, making it easier for companies to market their products internationally.
What's Next?
Stakeholders have until February 16, 2026, to file any objections to the name 'enprocymid'. If no objections are raised, the name will be officially included in the next edition of ISO 1750. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the ISO naming system and ensuring that the name does not infringe on existing trademarks. The agricultural community will be monitoring the performance of this fungicide in various applications to assess its effectiveness and impact on crop management.
