FMC Corporation anticipates it’ll receive EPA approval in late 2020 for two newly submitted biological pesticide strains.
The new active ingredient microbial pesticide strains are RTI 301 and RTI 477. The company says they provide a unique combination of two bacilli strains to control diseases such as Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) in soybeans as well as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Phytophthora.
