FMC obtains registration in India for Isoflex(R) active and Ambriva(R)herbicide

FMC, a global agricultural sciences company, has received registration in India for Isoflex® active and Ambriva® herbicide for use in wheat.

"Ambriva® herbicide, powered by Isoflex® active, presents a novel mode of action in wheat. Isoflex® active is classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as a group 13 herbicide," said FMC in a media release.

"In the last few years, we have rigorously tested Ambriva® herbicide in wheat over multiple seasons, observing consistent performance against Phalaris minor. We believe that Ambriva® herbicide will contribute to a healthy crop by providing growers with a new and effective tool to controlPhalaris minor, which has become resistant to other herbicides," said Ravi Annavarapu, FMC India, and South-WestAsia President.


"Ambriva® herbicide powered by Isoflex® active and metribuzinwill support wheat farmers, especially in the northwesternregions of the Indo-Gangetic plains, where Phalaris minor poses a significant challenge to crop yield potential," said FMC.

The company has claimed that it's studies have shown that Ambriva® herbicide demonstrates residual control against Phalaris minor and early post-emergence knock-down activity, protecting wheat during the critical crop-weed competition period as a one-shot solution.

"The registration and imminent introduction of Ambriva® herbicide in India marks a critical milestone for FMC," the release noted.

Isoflex® active is registered in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China and Great Britain.
