FMC Corporation and Syngenta to commercialize breakthrough technology that transforms grass weed control in rice in Asia
FMC Corporation and Syngenta Crop Protection announced today an agreement to bring to market a breakthrough technology to control weeds in rice in Asia. The new active ingredient, tetflupyrolimet, was discovered and developed by FMC with support from Syngenta for development in rice. It is the first major herbicide with a novel mode of action (DHODH – HRAC Group 28) in more than three decades, providing relief to farmers challenged by increasing weed resistance to existing herbicides.
