PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ --
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading agricultural sciences
company, recently received Brazilian registration
for fluindapyr, a novel broad-spectrum succinate dehydrogenase
inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide.
SDHI fungicides have become one of the most important tools for
Brazilian growers. Fluindapyr provides preventative control of a
wide range of destructive diseases prevalent in Brazilian row crops
such as rusts, leaf spots and powdery mildew.
"FMC expects to register several fluindapyr formulations in
Brazil for use in cotton, corn and
soybean, including ONSUVA® fungicide – a combination
with difenoconazole," said Marcelo
Magurno, FMC Brazil business director. "Our research
demonstrates that fluindapyr is an effective fungicide and an
excellent mixture partner to other fungicide active ingredients. It
is compatible with best-in-class disease management programs
providing Brazilian growers with preventative broad-spectrum
control of various fungal diseases. Broad-spectrum disease control
is critical since multiple diseases can attack the crop at the same
time, leading to potential crop loss and a significant reduction in
yield."
The registration in Brazil
marks another significant regulatory approval for FMC and
fluindapyr, which is already registered in Argentina, the
United States, Paraguay and
South Korea. The company has
submitted fluindapyr formulations for registration in multiple
other countries covering key markets in every region. Upon the
grant of these registrations, growers around the world will have
access to innovative disease management tools that complement their
crop management programs and optimize their crop yield.
"FMC will bring to market high-performance fluindapyr premixture
products that provide flexible and versatile resistance management
with superior performance on key tough-to-control diseases," said
Diane Allemang, FMC executive vice
president and chief marketing officer. "FMC fluindapyr brands will
provide growers across the globe the flexibility and versatility
they need to customize their programs on multiple crops."
