Prochloraz is a broad-spectrum imidazole fungicide used to control a diverse range of fungal diseases in crops and ornamentals. The application of prochloraz extends notably to cereals, fruits, and vegetables, especially within regions such as Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America (FAO JMPR).
The demand for prochloraz fungicide has steadily increased due to rising awareness of crop security, continued agricultural intensification, and stringent quality standards in food trade. In addition, the global prochloraz 24.4 formulation is gaining traction for its efficacy and ease of field application.

Global adoption of prochloraz systemic fungicide is driven by rising demands for resilient agriculture, especially under climate-related stress on crops. Technological advances in formulation of prochloraz 24.4 (24.4% w/w Emulsifiable Concentrate) are improving bioavailability and reducing environmental risk profiles. Regulatory agencies, such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), periodically update guidelines to ensure safety, limiting maximum residue levels (MRLs) and shaping trade flows.
Hebei Dongfeng Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. is committed to providing reliable and high-quality prochloraz products backed by rigorous R&D, scientific formulation, and compliance with international quality and environmental standards. Our team continuously monitors the latest technology and regulatory guidelines, integrating them into technical support and product delivery (product data, FAO JMPR).
We actively participate in industry collaboration, disseminate transparent safety data sheets (SDS), and deliver technical training for optimal product utilization—bolstering industry trust and customer success.
The ongoing innovations in prochloraz formulations and rising integration in global crop-protection programs are testaments to its value as a versatile, reliable, and safe fungicide. Regulatory tightening compels a greater focus on product stewardship, environmental protection, and traceable supply chains, which major manufacturers such as Hebei Dongfeng Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. are primed to deliver.
