Argentine crop protection company Sigma Agro has launched Protioflox, a new fungicide combining Trifloxystrobin 15 per cent and Prothioconazole 17.5 per cent, at the 2026 Aapresid Congress in Argentina. The product was unveiled during the congress in the presence of growers, distributors and agricultural media. Sigma Agro said the launch reflects its broader strategy of developing crop protection solutions tailored to changing disease pressures rather than simply expanding its product catalogue.
Protioflox is positioned as a high-performance fungicide for the control of foliar diseases in wheat, barley and soybean. Its combination of Trifloxystrobin and Prothioconazole brings complementary fungicidal activity, with the formulation designed to deliver reliable disease control while addressing growing demand for technologies that can maintain efficacy against key pathogens.
According to Sigma Agro, the development of Protioflox is part of its sustained investment in research and development. The company aims to continuously strengthen its fungicide portfolio in response to evolving pathogen challenges and changing requirements across production systems.
The company highlighted that building a broad and technically robust crop protection portfolio requires continued investment rather than one-off product launches. With Protioflox, Sigma Agro is seeking to reinforce its position in Argentina's fungicide market while providing growers with another option for managing foliar disease pressure in major field crops.
