PHILADELPHIA, May 28, 2024
/PRNewswire/ --
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural
sciences company, has received registration in Brazil for Azugro® and
Ezanya® herbicides for use in cotton, tobacco and wheat
crops. Azugro® and Ezanya® herbicides are
powered by Isoflex® active, FMC's brand name for
bixlozone. 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. The two new
formulations will provide growers with new tools to effectively
manage herbicide resistance across a wide range of agronomic
practices.
"FMC is committed to providing growers with innovative solutions
that enhance the productivity and resilience of their land," said
Sinara Ferreira, FMC Brazil business
director. "We are confident that Azugro® and
Ezanya® herbicides will contribute to a healthy crop by
providing growers with new and important tools to control weeds
that are resistant to other herbicides."
Azugro® and Ezanya® herbicides offer
effective control of key annual grass weeds, including goosegrass
(Eleusine indica), Italian ryegrass (Lolium
multiflorum) and some key broadleaf weeds. Azugro®
herbicide will be available for use in cotton during the 2024 crop
season and wheat in 2025, while Ezanya® herbicide will
be available for use in tobacco during the 2024 crop season.
Research on the use of Isoflex® active products in
additional crops and segments in Brazil is ongoing.
The registrations in Brazil
mark another significant regulatory approval for FMC and
Isoflex® active, which is currently registered in
Argentina, Australia and China. 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.
