# Historical Perspective    



History provides many examples where university research samples have led to major products of use today in modern production agriculture. The natural products, physostigmine,

pyrethrin, pyrethrin
and

strobilurin A strobolurin A		  

have each led to major multiproduct / multicompany classes of crop protection chemicals.
Model 2
The same can be said for the simple 2-(dibromonitromethyl)-3-methylpyridine, leading to the neonicotinoid insecticides. And, other synthetic research compounds like tris-neophyltin hydroxide and 5-methyl-5-phenyl-4-(phenylamino)-1,3-oxazolin-2-thione


famoxadone
have also led to useful commercial products – the latter being a very recent DuPont success story in the form of the plant disease control agent famoxadone, shown at left.
