Azoxystrobin Formulations for Importers: SC, SE and DMI Mixtures

Azoxystrobin Formulations for Importers: SC, SE and DMI Mixtures

This guide explains how professional buyers can compare azoxystrobin formulations and co-formulations before shortlisting suppliers. It is an educational sourcing resource, not an application recommendation, product label or legal opinion. Product approval, label directions and commercial legality must always be verified for the destination jurisdiction.

Azoxystrobin is a strobilurin fungicide classified by FRAC in Group 11 as a quinone outside inhibitor (QoI). QoI chemistry is single-site and FRAC treats it as high resistance risk, which is why so much commercial supply is co-formulated with partners from other groups — a fact that shapes how offers in this family should be compared.

Straight SC configuration

Averstar lists straight azoxystrobin as Azoxystrobin 25% SC, the reference loading for foliar programmes.

Suspension concentrates should be compared on suspensibility, particle-size behaviour and storage guidance from the specification, and weight-percentage offers reconciled with grams-per-litre offers using the density. Because straight QoI supply is often positioned inside a resistance-management programme, confirm with the destination channel how the product will be positioned before committing volume.

DMI and phenylamide co-formulations

Averstar lists three co-formulations: Azoxystrobin + Difenoconazole 200g/L / 125g/L SC and Azoxystrobin + Difenoconazole 180g/L / 120g/L SC pair the QoI with a FRAC Group 3 DMI partner, while Azoxystrobin + Metalaxyl-M 322g/L / 124g/L SE pairs it with a phenylamide partner in a suspo-emulsion.

An SE (suspo-emulsion) combines suspended and emulsified actives in one liquid and carries its own physical-stability checks — ask for storage-stability data on the specification. For any mixture, every active ingredient must be acceptable in the destination market, the mixture itself normally needs its own registration, and resistance-management positioning should be reviewed with local advisers using the current FRAC classification.

Packaging, shipment and sample planning

SC and SE offers are normally quoted in bottles, co-packs, drums and intermediate bulk containers. Ask each supplier to state packaging materials, net contents per unit and the export carton configuration on the quotation, and confirm that proposed retail pack sizes are acceptable under destination labelling rules before artwork is prepared.

When samples are needed for registration or laboratory verification, agree in writing what the sample represents: the batch, the formulation version and the specification revision. A sample drawn from a pilot batch does not prove that commercial shipments will match, so tie the commercial contract to the certificate of analysis of each shipped batch rather than to the sample alone.

Documents to request before shortlisting

An evidence-led comparison needs the same document set from every candidate supplier: the certificate of analysis, the proposed or registered label, the safety data sheet, the product specification, packaging details and the manufacturing-site identity. Ask for the version and date of each document, and keep the records together so that differences between a quotation, a label and a technical sheet can be resolved before commercial commitments are made.

For adjacent reading, see the difenoconazole formulations buyer guide — the most common mixture partner — and the fungicide resistance information guide for buyer requests.

Registration and residue references

Use the FAO pest and pesticide management resources for framework guidance and the Codex pesticide residues database for internationally referenced maximum residue limits, then confirm current national decisions with the destination authority. Nothing in this guide replaces the registered label or local regulatory advice.
