Secures registration in Great Britain for Fundatis® herbicide powered by Isoflex® active
FMC Corporation, 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 used on 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.”
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.
