Why This Matters
This collaboration between FMC and Corteva Agriscience significantly expands access to fluindapyr, a novel fungicide active ingredient effective against resistant foliar diseases in corn and soybeans, two of the most extensively planted crops in the U.S. The partnership combines FMC’s product innovation with Corteva’s market reach, offering American growers more tools to combat yield-threatening pathogens such as tar spot and southern rust. With regulatory approval anticipated by 2026, the initiative also reinforces a joint commitment to sustainable agriculture and resistance management strategies in crop protection.
