PrecisionPac® FH 20 helps improve harvest efficiency and field management

FMC Canada has announced the registration of PrecisionPac® FH 20 herbicide, a new crop protection product designed to support growers during the harvest season. The product is intended to help prepare canola and other registered crops for a smoother and more efficient harvest. 

The herbicide contains the active ingredient saflufenacil and is used alongside glyphosate. This combination helps speed up the drying process of green plant material and weeds before harvest. As a result, crops can dry down more evenly, making harvest operations easier and more effective. 

“Harvest conditions can change quickly, and growers need tools that help them make the most of every opportunity,” said Daniel Packer, Marketing Director, FMC Canada. “PrecisionPac®® FH-20 herbicide gives growers a new option for pre-harvest dry down, helping support a more efficient harvest while maintaining the flexibility they expect from FMC’s PrecisionPac®® Application Innovation. 

One of the key benefits of the new herbicide is its ability to help manage uneven crop maturity and late-season weed growth. These challenges can often make harvesting more difficult and time-consuming. By improving crop dry down, the product can support easier crop cutting and more consistent harvesting conditions. 

According to FMC Canada, growers need reliable tools that can help them respond to changing harvest conditions. Products that improve efficiency are especially valuable when weather conditions create narrow harvest windows. The company says the new herbicide offers another option for producers looking to maximize harvest opportunities. 

PrecisionPac® FH 20 herbicide is formulated to provide several important advantages. These include consistent crop and weed dry down, easier crop cutting, improved harvest efficiency, and cleaner fields the following spring. These benefits can help growers better manage their operations from harvest through the next growing season. 

The new registration also expands FMC Canada's PrecisionPac® portfolio. The product adds another customized crop protection option for growers and agricultural retailers. By broadening its product lineup, FMC aims to provide solutions that address different farming challenges while supporting productivity and field performance.
