FMC Launches Fast Acting Weed Control Solution
There is new protection available against broadleaf weeds in spring wheat, durum, winter wheat, and barley. FMC Canada has officially announced the registration of Express® FT herbicide for use in the prairie provinces and the interior of British Columbia. This new product is designed to provide both fast and extended control of broadleaf weeds in spring wheat, durum, winter wheat, and barley.
Express FT herbicide combines a Group 4 and two Group 2 active ingredients, allowing it to target problem weeds like resistant kochia, cleavers, dandelion, and volunteer canola. Its systemic action reaches the roots, ensuring thorough and effective weed elimination.
FMC Canada says one of the key features of this herbicide is its extended control for up to 15 days on flushing weeds. This helps reduce early-season weed competition and keeps fields cleaner for longer.
“With Express® FT herbicide, we’re giving farmers a strong new pre-seed option that targets tough weeds like kochia—without giving up lasting control of flushing volunteer canola,” said Daniel Packer, Marketing Director, FMC Canada. “It’s an effective, easy-to-use herbicide that performs well under western Canadian conditions.”
Key benefits of Express FT herbicide include:
The herbicide is tank-mixed with glyphosate and should be applied at least 24 hours before planting wheat or barley. A single case treats 160 acres and features a dry formulation powered by Solumax® soluble granules, which dissolve quickly for easy sprayer cleanout and consistent performance.
Express FT is designed for use in western Canadian conditions, making it a reliable tool for growers facing tough early-season weed pressure.
