The main table generated in this vignette shows the names under which products with different active ingredient combinations were registered between 2011 and 2026 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.

## 2 W-6085-2 Auxilior Rex Herbizid          2016   2026

Sometimes, a complete set of active ingredients was apparently replaced by a different set of active ingredients. In the case of the product name “Dominator”, three very different active ingredient compositions were registered under this name.

In some rare cases, products under the same name containing different active ingredients were authorized at the same time. This is true for “Banjo” for the year 2019 to 2021. One parallel import under this name contained fluazinam as the only active ingredient, another one contained tebuconazole and prothioconazole.
