Episode 10: Future Directions in Chiral Agrochemistry

Introduction Chirality has already transformed how agrochemicals are designed, evaluated, and applied. From the early reliance on racemic formulations to today’s enantiopure products such as metalaxyl-M, the trajectory shows a clear shift toward stereochemistry as a cornerstone of innovation. The future of chiral agrochemistry lies at the intersection of asymmetric synthesis, biocatalysis, computational design, and …

Episode 9: Regulatory and Industrial Perspectives on Chiral Agrochemicals

Introduction The development and use of chiral agrochemicals are not governed by science alone. Policy frameworks, regulatory guidance, and industrial strategy all play decisive roles in shaping how stereochemistry is addressed in crop protection. Over the past three decades, regulators have recognized that enantiomers can differ dramatically in efficacy, toxicity, and environmental fate. This recognition …
