FMC Corporation Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Sharda US, Which Restrains Sharda From Importing, Marketing, Advertising, Selling Or Distributing Any Premix Products Containing Bifenthrin And Cyano-Pyrethroids That Are Covered By FMC's Patents

<p><strong>FMC Corporation</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmc#NYSE">FMC</a>) recently filed regulatory applications for the Dodhylex active herbicide in eight rice-growing countries. Registration dossiers were submitted in India, Brazil, the Philippines, the United States, Colombia, South Korea, Peru and Taiwan, accounting for roughly 35% of the estimated 165 million hectares of planted rice worldwide. Dodhylex active regulatory filings are planned for a number of other significant global markets.</p>
<p>The Herbicide Resistance Action Committee and the Weed Science Society of America have categorized Dodhylex active, FMC&#39;s brand name, as tetflupyrolimet, which is a Group 28 herbicide, thereby making it the first novel mode of action herbicide globally in more than three decades. Dodhylex active will be a significant new rotational tool for farmers to manage herbicide resistance, which is becoming an increasingly difficult concern for growers around the world.</p>
<p>Dodhylex active is a key improvement for the agriculture industry because it combats resistant grass weeds. According to studies, this proprietary molecule provides season-long control of resistant grass weeds in rice, irrespective of cultivation method. FMC is continuing to evaluate the application of Dodhylex active in other crops such as sugarcane, wheat, soybeans and corn.</p>
<p>FMC&#39;s innovation and methodical approach to develop novel molecules to facilitate food security for an expanding population and fight resistance are demonstrated by the discovery and development of Dodhylex active at the Stine Research Centre. Subject to regulatory decisions, FMC expects the first launches of Dodhylex in 2026.</p>
<p>Shares of FMC have lost 28.5% over the past year compared with its industry&#39;s 6.5% decline.</p>
