ISO Approves New Herbicide Name ‘Fendioxypyracil’ for BASF SE
29 December 2025, Geneva: A new ISO common name has been approved for a BASF SE herbicide, marking the latest addition to the international nomenclature list under ISO 1750. The compound — ethyl 2-[2-[[3-chloro-6-[3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl]-5-fluoro-2-pyridinyl]oxy]phenoxy]acetate (CAS No. 2158274-50-9) — will now be officially recognized as fendioxypyracil.
The name was confirmed on 25 December 2025 after the objection period closed with no submissions received. As a result, the designation is cleared for use and will be incorporated into the March 2026 update of the XML data set for ISO 1750:2023, the international standard that defines pesticide common names.
BASF’s newly named product falls in the herbicide category. The approval also includes the French version of the name as « fendioxypyracil » (nm).
This approval is part of the ongoing process to standardize global reference names for crop protection substances, ensuring clarity for regulators, manufacturers, and users across international markets.
