FMC Registers Ambriva Herbicide in India for Enhanced Wheat Protection

FMC Corporation, a leader in agricultural sciences, has obtained registration in India for its Ambriva herbicide and Isoflex active for use in wheat crops. This new registration marks a significant milestone for FMC, offering wheat farmers a novel solution for controlling herbicide-resistant weeds like Phalaris minor, particularly in the Indo-Gangetic plains.

FMC Corporation, a leading global agricultural sciences company, has secured registration in India for its Isoflex® active and Ambriva® herbicide for use in wheat cultivation. The novel herbicide, powered by Isoflex® active, presents an innovative mode of action classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as a group 13 herbicide.

Ravi Annavarapu, President of FMC India and South-West Asia, stated, "In the last few years, we have rigorously tested Ambriva® herbicide in wheat over multiple seasons, observing consistent performance against Phalaris minor." This new herbicide aims to provide wheat growers with an effective tool to tackle Phalaris minor, a weed resistant to other herbicides, particularly in the northwestern Indo-Gangetic plains.

The registration and upcoming introduction of Ambriva® herbicide in India underscore FMC's commitment to innovation and its robust pipeline of solutions designed to enhance crop productivity and resilience. Isoflex® active has already been registered in various other countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, and Great Britain.
