FMC Corporation Launches New Fungicide in Ukraine

FMC Corporation, a global agricultural sciences company, has announced the regulatory approval of its Tremisia fungicide in Ukraine. This marks the first introduction of the company's novel fluindapyr technology in the European, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. The approval covers oilseed rape, sunflower, and wheat crops across more than 10 million hectares of Ukrainian farmland.

Tremisia fungicide combines FMC's proprietary fluindapyr molecule with flutriafol, offering a dual mode of action to combat a broad spectrum of crop diseases. The fungicide targets economically significant diseases such as Alternaria and Sclerotinia in sunflower, and Septoria and rust in wheat.

According to FMC, the new fungicide is designed to provide Ukrainian growers with a high-performance tool to protect their crops from devastating diseases. The company emphasizes that the product will integrate seamlessly into existing disease management programs.

This launch in Ukraine builds on the successful commercialization of fluindapyr-based products in several other countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, South Korea, and the United States. FMC also anticipates launching fluindapyr-based products in additional countries, pending regulatory decisions.

BNN's Perspective:

The introduction of new crop protection technologies like Tremisia is a positive development for global food security. While the benefits of enhanced crop yields are clear, it's crucial to monitor the long-term environmental impact and ensure responsible use of these products. Striking a balance between innovation and sustainability is key for the agricultural sector.
