FMC Corporation announced a strategic agreement with Corteva Agriscience to expand FMC's fluindapyr fungicide technology in the U.S. corn and soybean markets. This collaboration will enable more U.S. growers to combat challenging foliar diseases, such as tar spot and southern rust, with this novel fungicide active ingredient. The U.S. corn and soybean markets represent approximately 95 million and 80 million planted acres, respectively.
Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will market fluindapyr-based fungicide products. FMC will continue to offer Adastrio fungicide and develop new fluindapyr products. Corteva Agriscience plans to launch a fluindapyr-based product at the beginning of the 2026 growing season, pending EPA registration.
Fluindapyr, classified as a Group 7 fungicide, provides extended residual control and effectively manages pathogens resistant to other fungicide classes. This makes it a crucial component in resistance management strategies. FMC has already commercialized fluindapyr products in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, South Korea, and the United States, with further launches anticipated in Chile, Honduras, India, and Ukraine.
