FMC Corporation announced regulatory approval for its breakthrough Dodhylex active ingredient in South Korea, marking a significant milestone for its herbicide technology in the Asia Pacific region. This approval is a critical step towards introducing formulated products, with registrations for products powered by Dodhylex active anticipated in South Korea in 2026. This will provide South Korean rice growers with access to the first new mode-of-action herbicide in over three decades.
Dodhylex active is classified as the first and only Group 28 herbicide by both HRAC and WSSA, offering a novel approach to managing resistant grass weeds in rice production. The technology provides season-long control of grass weeds within a grass crop, regardless of cultivation method, addressing a critical challenge as herbicide resistance threatens rice productivity.
This registration builds on FMC's global momentum, following approvals in Peru and conditional approval in the Philippines for Keenali herbicide, which is powered by Dodhylex active. FMC has submitted regulatory applications across multiple countries in Asia and other regions, including Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam, with additional submissions planned.
