FMC introduces Tremisia庐 in Ukraine, expanding fluindapyr technology to EMEA to support disease control in vital export crops.
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a global leader in agricultural sciences, has announced the regulatory approval of its new Tremisia庐 fungicide in Ukraine, representing the debut of its innovative fluindapyr technology in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. This milestone marks a significant expansion for the company, targeting a strategically important agricultural market. The approval will enable Ukrainian growers to use the fungicide on oilseed rape, sunflower, and wheat鈥攃rops that collectively span more than 10 million hectares of farmland in the country.
FMC鈥檚 introduction of Tremisia庐 in Ukraine is seen as a pivotal moment in its regional growth strategy. 鈥淭his registration advances the commercialization of FMC's novel fluindapyr fungicide technology,鈥� said Sebasti脿 Pons, Vice President and President of FMC EMEA. 鈥淯kraine is among the world鈥檚 top exporters of sunflower, oilseed rape, and wheat, and this market is vital to ensuring global food security. With the introduction of Tremisia庐, we鈥檙e bringing our most advanced disease control technology to Ukrainian farmers and reinforcing our commitment to agricultural innovation and sustainability.鈥�
Tremisia庐 fungicide features a proprietary formulation that combines FMC鈥檚 fluindapyr molecule with flutriafol. This dual mode of action offers extended protection and is specifically designed to target a wide spectrum of economically significant fungal diseases. For sunflowers, it is effective against Alternaria and Sclerotinia, while in wheat, it protects against Septoria and rust鈥攄iseases that commonly threaten yields and reduce crop quality.
Nataliia Savchenko, Country Leader of FMC Ukraine, emphasized the fungicide's potential impact on local agriculture. 鈥淭his registration addresses a longstanding gap in disease management tools available to Ukrainian growers,鈥� she stated. 鈥淲ith rising disease pressures caused by intensive farming practices and climate variability, there鈥檚 a growing need for effective, reliable fungicide solutions. Tremisia庐 will offer farmers a high-performing option that integrates seamlessly into existing crop protection programs and provides robust, long-lasting results.鈥�
The Ukrainian approval builds upon FMC鈥檚 global success in introducing fluindapyr-based technologies. These products have already been commercialized in key markets such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, South Korea, and the United States. Earlier this year, FMC also received conditional approval for the technology in the Philippines. The company has additional launches planned, pending regulatory approvals, in countries including Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, and India.
With the launch of Tremisia庐 in Ukraine, FMC continues its strategic push to expand access to cutting-edge crop protection technologies globally. The approval not only strengthens FMC鈥檚 footprint in the EMEA region but also highlights its ongoing dedication to empowering farmers through science-driven solutions that promote sustainable, productive agriculture.
