FMC Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>), a leading agricultural sciences company, today announced it has received registration in Brazil for&nbsp;Sofero&#x2122; Fall pheromone targeting fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). Sofero&#x2122; Fall is the first in the company's lineup of distinctive pheromone products for row crops offering growers a novel approach to sustainably control pests, manage resistance and boost productivity.
"The registration of&nbsp;Sofero&#x2122; Fall in Brazil marks a significant milestone in our efforts to bring high-performance, sustainable crop protection solutions to growers," said Ronaldo Pereira, FMC president. "We are excited to provide growers with a powerful new tool in the battle against fall armyworm. Fall armyworm has developed resistance to many traditional insecticides, and growers are seeking alternative solutions to complement their existing practices. Sofero&#x2122; Fall offers an efficient and sustainable way to overcome mounting resistance challenges and enhance the performance of their pest management programs."
Sofero&#x2122; Fall features an innovative mode of action based on mating disruption. This breakthrough technology harnesses the powerful signals of pheromones to naturally disrupt the mating cycles of fall armyworm, preventing it from reproducing. By breaking the pest cycle before the next generation can emerge, Sofero&#x2122; Fall protects crops in the early stages of development, reducing damage and supporting healthy growth. The unique, sprayable formulation leverages FMC's proprietary microencapsulation technology to improve stability and extend its effectiveness, optimizing performance and providing growers with longer-lasting protection.
Sofero&#x2122; Fall is the first product to launch under FMC's global Sofero&#x2122; pheromone solutions brand. The Sofero&#x2122; portfolio of products will target destructive pests in key crops including rice, corn, cotton and soybeans. Sofero&#x2122; pheromone solutions are designed to be used as part of an integrated program, combined with synthetics, biologicals and precision technologies to improve operational efficiency.
"Sofero&#x2122; pheromone solutions inspire a new way to think about crop protection – one that is focused on prevention over treatment," continued Pereira. "With our extensive portfolio and global reach, FMC is uniquely positioned to bring these game-changing solutions to growers around the world, creating a more sustainable future for agriculture while solving real problems in the field."
Registration for Sofero&#x2122; Frugi pheromone, which also targets fall armyworm, is pending in Mexico and anticipated in 2027.

Jim Cramer: Palantir Is A 'Winner,' Recommends Selling This Tech Stock

Goldman Sachs analyst Duffy Fischer initiated coverage on several major U.S. agriculture input <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color" rel="noreferrer noopener">stocks, citing several factors</a>.
The analyst writes that they believe the agricultural macro environment is still stabilizing after the peak caused by the Russia-Ukraine war.
Fischer says that while Spring 2025 looks better than expected (excluding FX) thanks to expected higher corn acreage and a short Fall application window, they anticipate a continued drift toward normalized levels later this year.
CTVA: The analyst initiated coverage on Corteva, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTVA#NYSE">CTVA</a>) with a Buy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ctva/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $71</a>.
The analyst highlights the company&#8217;s strong seed and crop protection business, which is poised to benefit from significant cost tailwinds in 2025.
The analyst notes that the business is more focused on R&amp;D compared to crop protection, which gives it substantial pricing power, enabling it to maintain strong pricing even during down-cycles.
FMC: Fischer initiated coverage on FMC Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>) with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fmc/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $51</a>.
The analyst notes that the company is the only pure-play crop protection firm in the group.
The post-patent strategy for Rynaxypyr holds promise, and its R&amp;D pipeline is expected to yield dividend by 2027+, adds the analyst.
Additionally, the analyst notes the market is undervaluing the potential growth from new product launches in 2026/27 and beyond, as current consensus estimates are below FMC&#8217;s 2027 guidance targets.
MOS: The analyst started coverage on Mosaic Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOS#NYSE">MOS</a>) with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/mos/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $31</a>.
The analyst writes that the major reason for favoring the stock is that phosphate has the most favorable supply-demand outlook heading into 2025, with limited capacity growth and rising demand from farmers and LFP EV batteries.
If the company can avoid production disruptions, it can improve capacity utilization, boosting margins during a period of strong phosphate stripping margins, adds the analyst.
