Nippon Soda has announced that Certis Europe has been appointed as its distributor for a range of products using tebufenozide, a fat-soluble insecticide used to kill pests in fruits, vegetables and other crops.

The move follows the acquisition of tebufenozide by Nippon from Dow Agrosciences, with Certis boasting a long-standing relationship with the group.

The new business comprises tebufenozide products such as Mimic and Confirm, with Certis set to distribute these in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

'Tebufenozide has a clear strategic fit within the Certis Europe portfolio, where it complements the existing insecticide range, including products such as Bt insecticides, and granular-virus-based products such as Spod-X and Cyd-X that are positioned in integrated pest management programmes,' Certis said.
