FMC
Corporation and BASF said Monday that the U.S. corn crop is expected to reap benefits of their agreement to combine insect and disease protection technologies to produce new in-furrow crop
protection products using BASF's LFR technology.
"The LFR technology brings greater convenience,
simplicity and dependability to our customers," BASF Corn Fungicide
Products Manager Scott Stout said. "FMC is a recognized liquid in-furrow
leader, and our customers will benefit from our leading disease control and
plant health fungicide with the best below-ground insect control and in-furrow
insecticide formulation technology available."
U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyregistrations
have already been received for FMC's Temitry LFR Insecticide/Fungicide and
BASF's Manticor LFR In-Furrow Fungicide/Insecticide. These new products will help
farmers increase corn yield without using additional natural resources.
"The collaboration combines the core competencies of
two market leaders," FMC Fungicide and Insecticide Portfolio Manager Rick
Ekins said. "FMC is an in-furrow formulations technology leader and BASF
is a fungicide active ingredient leader. This alliance allows both companies to
help our customers take yields and profits to the next level. In-furrow
protection has never been so convenient or powerful."
