FMC Corporation has submitted its herbicide rimisoxafen to the EPA for approval, marking the first global regulatory submission for the new active ingredient. The submission covers use on corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and select pulse crops. Rimisoxafen, discovered at FMC's Stine Research Center, is classified as a Group 12 and 32 herbicide with a dual mode of action, inhibiting two distinct biochemical processes in weeds. Field tests showed efficacy against problematic weeds like Palmer amaranth and waterhemp. FMC plans further submissions in other markets, though the product is not yet registered for sale.
