FMC, Corteva Agriscience collaborate on fluindapyr fungicide technology

FMC (FMC) announced a strategic agreement with Corteva Agriscience (CTVA) that will expand FMC’s fluindapyr fungicide technology in the U.S. corn and soybean markets. The collaboration between the two agricultural companies will enable more U.S. growers to combat challenging foliar diseases, such as tar spot and southern rust, with this novel fungicide active ingredient. Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will market fluindapyr-based fungicide products to U.S. corn and soybean growers. FMC will continue to offer Adastrio fungicide while developing new fungicide products containing fluindapyr. Corteva Agriscience will launch a fluindapyr-based product at the beginning of the 2026 growing season, pending Environmental Protection Agency registration.
