Two new biologicals will be introduced in the U.S. and
Brazil this year
PHILADELPHIA, June 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a
leading global agricultural sciences company, has launched a new
brand identity for its Plant Health business to reflect the
company's continuing growth and expansion of its biologicals
platform. Agricultural biologicals represent a diverse group of
crop protection and stimulant products derived from living
organisms and naturally occurring compounds. Biologicals by
FMC demonstrates FMC's commitment to providing farmers with
science-backed biological solutions to help sustainably manage
crops, protect yields and combat resistance.
Since 2013, FMC has built a world-class biologicals business
with more than 50 biological products offering protection for
multiple high-value specialty crops and row crops across 50
countries. FMC's Accudo® biostimulant, Presence® bionematicide and
Quartzo® bionematicide have been recognized by the Crop Science
Forum Awards as best new biological products. The company has a
robust pipeline of differentiated and patented technologies
developed through its biological R&D organization as well as
third-party collaborations.
"FMC is investing substantially in the biological segment and is
committed to providing growers with products offering unique modes
of action as either stand-alone solutions or complementary to FMC's
portfolio of crop protection chemistries," said Dr. Bénédicte
Flambard, global director of FMC Plant Health. "We are rapidly
expanding our existing offerings into additional geographies by
launching four new biopesticides around the world in the next four
years. As part of this initiative, we are excited to share that we
are introducing Zironar™ biofungicide/bionematicide in the U.S. and
Provilar™ biofungicide in Brazil
this year."
Zironar™ biofungicide/bionematicide, a root-colonizing
biological used at planting, produces a physical barrier along the
length of the root to offer season-long protection against
soil-borne fungal diseases and destructive nematodes. Studies show
Zironar™ biofungicide/bionematicide increases root biomass and root
branching for better utilization of water from the soil in
drought-like conditions.
Provilar™ biofungicide, a foliar Bacillus
combination, recently received registration from Brazilian
authorities to address key diseases in soybeans, cotton and beans.
Studies have shown crops treated with Provilar™
biofungicide demonstrate higher yield as a result of improved
disease management. Provilar™ biofungicide will be
available in Brazil this year,
while FMC is pursuing registration of this Bacillus strain
combination in over 20 additional countries.
