PHILADELPHIA, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading agricultural sciences company, obtained a new mode of action classification for its proprietary herbicide molecule, tetflupyrolimet. It is the first active ingredient in the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) and Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) Group 28 and the first new herbicide with a novel mode of action in the crop protection industry in over three decades.
Studies show this new mode of action herbicide provides season-long control of important grass weeds in the rice market, as well as key hard-to-control broadleaf weeds and sedges. As disclosed at its November 2020 Investor Technology Update, FMC plans to start the registration process and expects to launch products containing tetflupyrolimet in the transplanted and direct-seeded rice markets

WESTMINSTER, Colo., March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ Weed control in vegetables, flowers and herbs can be incredibly labor intensive, experts with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say. There are few herbicides available for these specialty crops, making hand weeding the go to process. Now, though, labor shortages are creating tough challenges for growers and driving food prices higher for consumers.
Could intelligent weeding machines be the answer? Based on technology advances made to date, experts say the answer is likely yes. In fact, artificial intelligence-driven machines are already being used in vegetable crops and in other areas of specialty farming.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Scott Senseman, professor and head of the University of Tennessee Department of Plant Sciences, has been named a Fellow of the Weed Science Society of America. The WSSA provides science-based information to the public and policymakers and fosters awareness of weeds and their tremendous impacts on managed and natural ecosystems.
Senseman equates the highest honor given by the society as being a member of its hall of fame, and he emphasizes the importance of the work performed by WSSA members. There are forces working against cropping systems, such as pathogens, insects and weeds. Weeds, of the three, pose the highest competitive disadvantage to crops. It is difficult to have a profitable yield with a weed infestati
