library(flextable)The main table generated in this vignette shows the names under which products with different active ingredient combinations were registered between 2011 and 2025 in the Swiss Register of Plant Protection Products.
In most cases, simply a different active ingredient name was chosen for the same active ingredient. For example, a content of propamocarb-hydrochlorid was later given in terms of the cation propamocarb, and a content of tribenuron-methyl was later expressed in terms of the corresponding acid tribenuron. In other cases, one or more active substances were replaced by an alternative substance. In at least one case, a product name was even used for a different application area: The name “Auxilior Rex” was used for a fungicide in the 2011 register, and is used for a herbicide since 2016.
