FMC targets US pyroxasulfone combos

摘要

FMC expects to receive US approval for two new maize herbicides based on Kumiai Chemical's pyroxasulfone in late 2012. Anthem (pyroxasulfone + fluthiacet-methyl) provides broad-spectrum weed control and can be used at pre-plant, pre-emergence and early post-emergence stages. Anthem ATZ (pyroxasulfone + fluthiacet-methyl + atrazine) is a "patent-pending formulation that mixes and handles easily", the company notes.
