Isoflex® active, FMC's brand name for bixlozone, is a novel herbicide classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as a Group 13 herbicide.

"FMC is committed to discovering and developing innovative solutions that help growers protect their crops and optimise yields," said John Hutton, FMC Northern Europe business director. 

 

"Over the last three years, Isoflex® active has been tested and trialed extensively with growers, distributors and industry bodies on key crops across Great Britain.

"Isoflex® active has demonstrated an ability to be a significant component of an integrated weed management programme and is expected to help growers manage herbicide resistance."

This new active has exhibited pre-plant, pre-emergence and early post-emergence selectivity in major crops across the globe, including cereals, potatoes, oilseed rape and pulses.

Studies have shown that products powered by Isoflex® active offer effective control of challenging annual grass weeds and key broadleaf weeds. Research on the use of Isoflex® active in additional crops and segments in Great Britain is ongoing.   

 

Isoflex® active demonstrates the strength of FMC's robust pipeline and is a testament to the company's ability to translate grower challenges into solutions that will enhance the productivity and resilience of their crops.
