Key Active Ingredients
FMC is a valued solutions provider and a leading innovator of advanced chemistries. When growers are looking for innovative chemistries, they know FMC technology will protect their crops, regardless of whose seeds are in the ground. Learn more about some of our active ingredients:
Dodhylex™ active herbicide (Tetflupyrolimet)
Dodhylex™ active is the first active ingredient in the HRAC/ WSSA Group 28 and the first new herbicide with a novel mode of action in the industry in over three decades. This new mode of action herbicide was discovered at the FMC Stine Research Center and is a testament to FMC's commitment to innovation and our disciplined approach to advancing the most promising new molecules.
Studies show this new mode of action herbicide provides season-long control of challenging grass weeds in the rice market and key broadleaf weeds and sedges. The molecule is a significant advancement for the agriculture industry as it will help combat resistant weeds.
We anticipate launching products containing Dodhylex™ active in the transplanted and direct-seeded rice markets and are also testing the active in other crops, including sugarcane, wheat, soybean and corn.
Isoflex™ active (bixlozone) herbicide
Isoflex™ active offers a new mode of action against weeds in cereals. It is available in Australia as Overwatch® herbicide. We anticipate launching other herbicide brands powered by Isoflex™ active in Argentina, China, India, Brazil, and parts of Europe over the next five years for cereals, rapeseed, corn and sugarcane.
