FMC obtains Great Britian registration for Fundatis herbicide
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural sciences company, announced it has received registration for Fundatis herbicide powered by Isoflex active in Great Britain for use in winter wheat and winter barley. Isoflex active is a novel herbicide when used in cereals and is classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as a Group 13 herbicide. Fundatis herbicide provides growers with a new tool to help manage herbicide resistance across a wide range of agronomic practices. "Fundatis herbicide introduces a new solution featuring two active ingredients previously unavailable in Great Britain," said Sebastià Pons, vice president, president FMC EMEA. "This registration underscores FMC's commitment and dedication to bringing innovative crop protection technologies to growers. By providing growers with solutions to overcome resistance challenges, they are empowered to enhance their farming practices and achieve greater success." FMC Corporation has received registration in Great Britain for Fundatis herbicide, powered by Isoflex active, for use in winter wheat and barley. This Group 13 herbicide, new to the region, helps manage resistance in key weeds like Blackgrass and Ryegrass. The product will be available this fall and adds to Isoflex's global approvals, including in Argentina and China. Fundatis herbicide combines FMC's innovative molecule Isoflex active with beflubutamid, providing growers with a new tool for resistance management. Fundatis herbicide provides a strong foundation as part of an integrated weed management program, effectively contributing to the control of key annual grass weeds, including Blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) and Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). It also offers control of key broadleaf weeds such as Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) and Speedwell (Veronica spp.). Fundatis herbicide will be available to growers during the fall growing season in Great Britain. The registration in Great Britain marks another significant regulatory approval for FMC and Isoflex active, which has already been registered and commercialized in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Pakistan, Uruguay and India. FMC has also submitted a regulatory application for Isoflex active in the European Union. Products containing Isoflex active have exhibited pre-plant, pre-emergence and early post-emergence selectivity in major crops across the globe, including canola, cereals, oilseed rape and pulses. Research on the use of Isoflex active in additional crops and segments is ongoing.
