PHILADELPHIA, April 6, 2026 \/PRNewswire\/ — FMC<\/a> Corporation (NYSE: FMC<\/a>), a leading global agricultural sciences company, today announced that Isoflex\u00ae active, the trade name for bixlozone, has received regulatory approval in the European Union (EU). This approval is a critical milestone in FMC<\/a>‘s commercialization process, paving the way for the introduction of formulated products across more than 55 million planted hectares of cereals, corn, oilseed rape and potato in the EU. Product dossiers have been submitted for these crops, and pending regulatory decisions, FMC anticipates launching products powered by Isoflex\u00ae active beginning in 2027. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“The approval of Isoflex\u00ae active addresses a critical gap in agriculture in the European Union,” said Sebasti\u00e0\u00a0Pons, vice president, president FMC EMEA. “Since the last herbicide approval in 2019, growers have lost access to more than 20 herbicide active ingredients. This approval reinforces our ability to develop and register advanced crop protection solutions that solve grower challenges and help strengthen Europe’s agricultural economy.”<\/p>\n

Isoflex\u00ae active is classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as a Group 13 herbicide. The molecule provides lasting control of key grass weeds and a wide range of broadleaf weeds, offering growers a new mode of action in cereals, enabling them to effectively manage resistant weed populations and protect economically important crops across the EU.<\/p>\n

The European launches will build on FMC’s successful global rollout of products powered by Isoflex\u00ae active, which have already been registered and commercialized in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Great Britain, Pakistan, Uruguay and India. Products containing Isoflex\u00ae active have exhibited pre-plant, pre-emergence and early post-emergence selectivity in major crops across the globe, including cereals, cotton, oilseed rape, rice and pulses. Research and development on the use of Isoflex\u00ae\u00a0active in additional crops and segments is ongoing.<\/p>\n
