FMC Names Dodhylex Active as Tetflupyrolimet's Global Brand
Read MoreHide Full Article
FMC Corporation (FMC - Free Report) has announced the global brand name Dodhylex active for tetflupyrolimet, a new mode of action herbicide effective against the most challenging grass weeds in rice.
The global brand will ensure that farmers worldwide recognize this innovative mechanism of action in the newest herbicide products that FMC plans to offer in 2025. The Dodhylex name is derived from the site of action - dihydroorotate dehydrogenase - and the herbicide's capacity to prevent the nutrients required for the weed to survive.
Dodhylex active is the first HRAC/WSSA Group 28 active ingredient and the industry's first new herbicide with a novel mode of action in over three decades. According to studies, Dodhylex active effectively controls significant broadleaf weeds, sedges and grass weeds in the rice market throughout the entire growing season. Dodhylex active is also being tested on sugarcane, wheat, soybeans and corn by FMC.
Shares of FMC have lost 22.2% over the past year against a 1.9% rise of its industry.
