FMC Corporation expands novel fluindapyr fungicide technology to EMEA region
Tremisia® fungicide receives registration in Ukraine, bringing growers a new tool to combat challenging crop diseases PHILADELPHIA, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural sciences company, today announced regulatory approval for Tremisia® fungicide in Ukraine, marking the first introduction of the company's novel fluindapyr technology in the European, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. The approval covers oilseed rape, sunflower, and wheat across more than 10 million hectares of Ukrainian farmland. 'The registration advances the commercialization of FMC's novel fluindapyr fungicide technology,' said Sebastià Pons, vice president, president of FMC EMEA. 'Ukraine ranks among the world's largest exporters of sunflower, oilseed rape, and wheat, making it a strategically important agricultural market. The Tremisia® fungicide approval brings Ukrainian growers our most advanced fungicide technology and demonstrates FMC's continued commitment to science and innovation.' Tremisia® fungicide combines FMC's proprietary fluindapyr molecule with flutriafol, delivering a dual mode of action to help maintain a healthy crop for an extended period. This fungicide targets a broad spectrum of economically significant diseases, including Alternaria and Sclerotinia in sunflower, and Septoria and rust in wheat. 'This registration fills an important gap in disease management options for Ukrainian growers, providing a high-performance tool to protect their crops from devastating disease,' said Nataliia Savchenko, FMC Ukraine country leader. 'Disease pressures pose ongoing challenges to crop productivity in Ukraine's intensive cropping systems. Tremisia® fungicide will offer growers the freedom to choose a best-in-class solution that integrates seamlessly into their existing disease management programs.' The Ukraine registration builds on FMC's successful commercialization of fluindapyr-based products in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, South Korea, and the United States, with conditional approval secured in the Philippines earlier this year. Pending regulatory decisions, FMC anticipates launching fluindapyr-based products in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, and India, further expanding global access to this innovative fungicide technology.

Speeding, broken roads or strays? Haryana govt to study causes of accidents
Gurgaon: As the number of people dying in road accidents in the state remains uncomfortably high, Haryana govt has mandated a scientific study to identify accidents' root causes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The initiative aims at analysing each accident, considering factors such as road conditions, speeding, traffic management, stray animals and other potential contributors, to implement effective preventive measures. The findings will be used to identify patterns and trends, which will inform the development of comprehensive safety measures. In 2022, Haryana recorded 11,105 accidents and 5,596 deaths. In 2023, the figures stood at 10,438 accidents and 5,195 deaths, followed by 9,759 accidents and 4,828 deaths in 2024. In 2025, up to May 25, the numbers further decreased to 6,770 accidents and 1,942 deaths. Highlighting the importance of this initiative, Union transport minister Anil Vij said, "Our primary goal is to safeguard the lives of citizens. By understanding why road accidents are taking place, we can take informed actions to improve road safety across the state." In addition to the study, the govt plans to launch awareness campaigns to educate the public about safe driving practices and the importance of adhering to traffic rules. Earlier this month, a budget of Rs 74.5 crore was approved by Haryana fund management committee (FMC) on road safety for the current year to reduce road accident fatalities and enhance the emergency response system across the state. Moreover, as part of its commitment to ensuring safe travel for all, the state govt also adheres to the Haryana road safety policy (2016). According to the official, these efforts have helped in gradually reducing the number of fatalities in accidents. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Zeroing in on vehicles transporting children to and from school, Vij said, "All school buses must undergo regular inspections, and attention should be paid to their condition. A meeting with school transport operators should be scheduled soon, where they must be given clear guidelines to ensure safe commute of children. Non-compliance should be met with challans and vehicle seizure." Meanwhile, institutes of driving training and research (IDTR) will be established in each district of the state. In Gurgaon, a plan was approved for setting up a regional driving training centre. Through these centres, the state aims to promote responsible driving behaviour. The city alone accounted for 1,026 road accidents last year, resulting in 428 fatalities. National highways accounted for 44% of these accidents, with motorcyclists being the most affected group, comprising 41% of the fatalities. Currently, the state has four operational IDTRs - in Rohtak, Bahadurgarh (Jhajjar), Karnal, and Kaithal. An IDTR has been constructed in Bhiwani as well, and it will be made operational soon. Consultants have been appointed for setting up these centres in Nuh and Faridabad.

DoorDash, AMD upgraded: Wall Street's top analyst calls
The most talked about and market moving research calls around Wall Street are now in one place. Here are today's research calls that investors need to know, as compiled by The 5 Upgrades: Raymond James upgraded DoorDash (DASH) to Strong Buy from Outperform with a price target of $260, up from $215. The firm believes the synergy potential with Deliveroo is underappreciated at current share levels, forecasting mid-teens EBITDA accretion in 2026 and high-teens in 2027. Melius Research upgraded AMD (AMD) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $175, up from $110, citing the view that "many things have changed for the better since the beginning of the year." Deutsche Bank upgraded Estee Lauder (EL) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $95, up from $71. The firm sees increasing evidence that the company's strategy is diversifying well beyond China and travel retail for future growth, underpinned by moves to accelerate innovation and migrate decision-making geographically closer to where business gets done. BofA upgraded Omnicom (OMC) to Neutral from Underperform with an unchanged price target of $80. The firm shares investor concerns around the pending Interpublic Group (IPG) merger and related integration risks, but the firm's recent trip to the Cannes Lions and meeting with various industry stakeholders provide "enough confidence on both structural trends and cyclical dynamics" to upgrade the shares. Wells Fargo upgraded FMC (FMC) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $50, up from $41. The firm is "increasingly confident" that 2024 will mark the near-term bottom for FMC's earnings given positive market trends and strategic actions. Top 5 Downgrades: Craig-Hallum downgraded Oklo (OKLO) to Hold from Buy with a price target of $59, up from $43. Given its "build, own, operate" model, Oklo is charting a regulatory path in which it will be both the nuclear technology provider and the project owner with it supplying baseload zero emissions power and heat to end users in the AI data centers and other applications, the analyst tells investors. Scotiabank downgraded AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) to Sector Perform from Outperform with an unchanged price target of $45.40. The firm cites valuation for the downgrade with the shares above the price target following the "impressive rally." BofA downgraded Equifax (EFX) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $285, down from $300. The firm was "underwhelmed" by the company's investor day. BMO Capital downgraded Dow Inc. (DOW) to Underperform from Market Perform with a price target of $22, down from $29. The "significant weakness" across the company's end markets resulting in soft pricing and lower volumes is likely to result in "severely challenged" Q2 EBITDA and second half of the year estimates "coming solidly lower," the analyst tells investors in a research note. KeyBanc downgraded KBR (KBR) to Sector Weight from Overweight without a price target after the Department of Defense formally terminated KBR's HomeSafe program for cause last Wednesday. The firm believes that for investors to appreciate KBR's discount valuation, they "needed a defensible rebasing" of the long-term outlook. Top 5 Initiations: JPMorgan initiated coverage of DraftKings (DKNG) with an Overweight rating and $50 price target. The firm says land-based U.S. gaming faces macro uncertainty and risk of tariffs pressuring consumers in the second half of 2025. JPMorgan initiated coverage of Penn Entertainment (PENN) with an Overweight rating and $24 price target. The firm says land-based U.S. gaming faces macro uncertainty and risk of tariffs pressuring consumers in the second half of 2025. GLJ Research initiated coverage of GE Vernova (GEV) with a Buy rating and $702 price target. The firm says investors and analysts are increasingly stepping away from GE Vernova, a "best-in-class" power generation manufacturing story, citing valuation and a slowing event-path. TD Cowen initiated coverage of Soleno Therapeutics (SLNO) with a Buy rating and $110 price target. The firm says Vykat XR "bucked the trend of clinical shortcomings" in Prader-Willi syndrome by becoming the first-approved treatment for hyperphagia in this devastating genetic syndrome. Craig-Hallum initiated coverage of Sphere Entertainment (SPHR) with a Buy rating and $75 price target. The Sphere is disrupting the traditional venue model with "awe-inspiring" and immersive live events and unique original "Sphere Studios" shows, but one that can charge premium pricing, have significantly better utilization, and generate substantial advertising revenue via the Exosphere, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

FMC achieves key approval for rice herbicide in South Korea
FMC Corporation has achieved a significant milestone in bringing breakthrough herbicide technology to rice growers, securing regulatory approval for Dodhylex active ingredient in South Korea. The approval of the active ingredient is a critical step in FMC's commercialization process, paving the way for the introduction of formulated products. Pending regulatory decisions, FMC anticipates receiving registration for products powered by Dodhylex active in South Korea in 2026. This will provide South Korean rice growers with access to the first new mode-of-action herbicide developed in over three decades. Classified as the first and only Group 28 herbicide by both the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) and the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA), Dodhylex active offers a novel approach to managing yield-reducing and resistant grass weeds in rice production. The technology can selectively control grass weeds within a grass crop—a significant technical achievement that provides season-long control, regardless of cultivation method, addressing a critical challenge as herbicide resistance continues to threaten rice productivity across the region. The registration in South Korea represents the first full approval of this revolutionary herbicide technology in the world's largest rice-producing region. This registration builds on FMC's global momentum, following the registration in Peru and the conditional approval in the Philippines for Keenali herbicide, powered by Dodhylex active. The company has submitted regulatory applications across multiple countries in Asia and other regions, including Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam, with additional submissions planned. FMC Corporation has secured regulatory approval in South Korea for Dodhylex active, a groundbreaking Group 28 herbicide and the first new mode-of-action for rice in over 30 years. The approval marks a major step toward product launch by 2026, offering season-long control of resistant grass weeds. This builds on earlier approvals in Peru and the Philippines, with global registrations underway.
