, /PRNewswire/ -- FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural sciences company, today announced a strategic agreement with Corteva Agriscience that will expand FMC's fluindapyr fungicide technology in the U.S. corn and soybean markets. The collaboration between the two agricultural companies will enable more U.S. growers to combat challenging foliar diseases, such as tar spot and southern rust, with this novel fungicide active ingredient. Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will market fluindapyr-based fungicide products to U.S. corn and soybean growers. FMC will continue to offer Adastrio® fungicide while developing new fungicide products containing fluindapyr. Corteva Agriscience will launch a fluindapyr-based product at the beginning of the 2026 growing season, pending Environmental Protection Agency registration. "This strategic agreement will introduce FMC's innovative fluindapyr technology into a broader segment of the U.S. corn and soybean markets, which represent roughly 95 million and 80 million planted acres, respectively," said Ronaldo Pereira, FMC president. "By partnering with Corteva, we're providing more growers with access to the advanced tools they need to effectively combat costly and challenging diseases, helping them protect yield potential and maximize their return on investment." Fluindapyr, the active ingredient in Adastrio® fungicide, provides extended residual control and effectively manages pathogens that have developed resistance to other fungicide classes, making it an essential component in a comprehensive resistance management strategy. Fluindapyr is classified by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) as a Group 7 fungicide.   "One of our goals is to make sure farmers have what they need to grow and harvest a successful crop," said Jeremy Dirks, president, Corteva North America. "With the novel active ingredient, fluindapyr, we can provide growers with an additional effective disease management tool that complements the other fungicides in our portfolio." FMC has commercialized products containing fluindapyr in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, South Korea, and the United States. Pending regulatory decisions, FMC anticipates launching fluindapyr-based products in Chile, Honduras, India, and Ukraine.
