Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Information and Accounting Policies	Financial Information and Accounting Policies In our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim period financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , and our financial positions as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . All such adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , and the related condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , have been reviewed by our independent registered public accountants. The review is described more fully in their report included herein. Our accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “ 2015 10-K”).

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronoucements and Regulatory Items	Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items New accounting guidance and regulatory items In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ( "ASU 2016-13" ). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. a January 1, 2020 effective date), with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. a January 1, 2017 effective date). We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. a January 1, 2019 effective date). We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments--Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This new standard changes the criteria by which to measure inventory. Prior to the issuance of this new standard, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market value. This required three separate data points in order to measure inventory. The three data points were cost, market with a ceiling of net realizable value and market with a floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin. This amendment eliminates the two data points defining "market" and replaces them with one, net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This amendment does not impact inventory measured using last-in, first-out. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. We intend to adopt this standard for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 and subsequent amendments will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. Recently adopted accounting guidance In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangements , which provides guidance to determine when a customer's fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement include a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (i.e. January 1, 2016) and entities may elect to adopt the ASU prospectively or retrospectively. We have adopted the standard prospectively. There was no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Cheminova A/S On April 21, 2015, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the outstanding equity of Cheminova A/S, a Denmark Aktieselskab ("Cheminova") from Auriga Industries A/S, a Denmark Aktieselskab for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion , excluding assumed net debt and hedged-related costs totaling $0.6 billion (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was funded with the October 10, 2014 term loan which was secured for the purposes of the Acquisition. Cheminova is being integrated into our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment and has been included within our results of operations since the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Cheminova broadens our supply capabilities and strengthens our geographic footprint, particularly in Europe. Revenue and Income from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to Cheminova, since the date of acquisition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $217.0 million and $27.0 million , respectively. Purchase Price Allocation The acquisition of Cheminova has been accounted for under the GAAP business combinations accounting guidance, and as such we have applied acquisition accounting. Acquisition accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date using primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs (see Note 16 for an explanation of Level 2 and 3 inputs). These Level 2 and Level 3 valuation inputs include an estimate of future cash flows and discount rates. Additionally, estimated fair values are based, in part, upon outside preliminary appraisals for certain assets, including specifically-identified intangible assets. The purchase price allocation was finalized as of March 31, 2016. The allocation was subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations was obtained. Any changes to the initial allocation are referred to as measurement-period adjustments. Measurement-period adjustments since the filing of our 2015 Form 10-K were primarily related to decreases in the estimated fair values of certain current assets, property, plant and equipment and income taxes payable. These decreases were offset by increases in current liabilities, intangible assets and deferred income taxes. The effect of all measurement-period adjustments in the first quarter of 2016 resulted in an increase to recognized goodwill of approximately $20 million . The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Cheminova and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Purchase Price Allocation (in Millions) Trade receivables $ 488.1 Inventories (1) 362.4 Other current assets 53.6 Property, plant & equipment 186.4 Intangible assets (2) Customer relationships 294.1 Brands 362.8 In-process research & development 1.4 Goodwill (3) 468.8 Other assets 84.5 Total fair value of assets acquired $ 2,302.1 Short-term debt 140.5 Other current liabilities 432.3 Environmental reserves 47.2 Long-term debt (4) 273.1 Deferred tax liabilities 165.1 Other liabilities 38.8 Total fair value of liabilities assumed 1,097.0 Total cash paid, less cash acquired $ 1,205.1 ____________________ (1) Fair value of finished goods inventory acquired included a step-up in the value of approximately $57.8 million , of which $19.3 million was expensed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 all of which was expensed in the full year 2015 and included in "Cost of sales and services" on the condensed consolidated income statement. (2) The weighted average useful life of the acquired finite-lived intangibles, which primarily represents the customer relationships, is approximately 20 years . (3) Goodwill largely consists of expected cost synergies and economies of scale resulting from the business combination. None of the acquired goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. (4) Long-term debt assumed primarily consisted of mortgage debt and borrowings under existing Cheminova credit facilities that were settled by FMC’s term loan in the second quarter of 2015. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma results of operations assume that the Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma amounts include certain adjustments, including interest expense on the borrowings utilized to complete the acquisition, depreciation and amortization expense and income taxes. The pro forma amounts for the three and six month periods below exclude acquisition-related charges. The pro forma results do not include adjustments related to cost savings or other synergies that are anticipated as a result of the Acquisition. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2015, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

These charges are recorded as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). (2) On the consolidated statements of income (loss), these charges are included in “Costs of sales and services.” (3) See "Cheminova Acquisition Hedge Costs" below for more information on these charges. These charges are recorded as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). (4) Acquisition-related charges and restructuring charges to integrate Cheminova with Agricultural Solutions are expected to be completed in 2016. (5) See Note 8 for more information. These charges are recorded as a component of “Restructuring and other charges (income)” on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Cheminova Acquisition Hedge Costs Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Cheminova from Auriga for an aggregate purchase price of 8.5 billion Danish krone ("DKK"). At the time we entered into the Purchase Agreement, the U.S. dollar ("USD" or “$”) to DKK exchange rate was USD $1.00 to DKK 5.77 , resulting in a USD purchase price of $1.47 billion , excluding assumed debt of approximately $0.3 billion . In order to minimize our exposure to adverse changes in the USD to DKK exchange rate from September 8, 2014 to April 21, 2015 (the acquisition close date), we entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts ("FX forward contracts"). The FX forward contracts provided us the ability to fix the USD to DKK exchange rate for most of the DKK 8.5 billion purchase price, thereby limiting our exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations. Over the period from September 2014 to April 21, 2015 the USD strengthened against the DKK by approximately 21 percent to an exchange rate of USD $1.00 to DKK 6.96 . The strengthening of the USD against the DKK results in a lower USD purchase price for Cheminova. Partially offsetting this was a mark-to-market net loss settlement on the FX forward contracts of $172.1 million during the first six months of 2015.

The net long-term customer receivables were $102.5 million as of June 30, 2016 . These long-term customer receivable balances and the corresponding allowance are included in Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For these long-term customer receivables, interest is no longer accrued when the receivable is determined to be delinquent and classified as long-term based on the estimated timing of collection. A portion of these long-term receivables have payment contracts. We have no reason to believe payments will not be made based upon the credit quality of these customers. Additionally, we also hold significant collateral against these customers including rights to property or other assets as a form of credit guarantee. If the customer does not pay or gives indication that they will not pay, these guarantees allow us to start legal action to block the sale of the customer’s harvest. On an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate the credit quality of our financing receivables using aging of receivables, collection experience and write-offs, as well as evaluating existing economic conditions, to determine if an additional allowance is necessary. The following table displays a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses related to long-term customer receivables.

As part of the integration of Cheminova into our existing FMC Agricultural Solutions segment we implemented a restructuring plan. The restructuring plan includes workforce reductions, relocation of current operating locations, lease termination fees and fixed asset accelerated depreciation as well as fixed asset disposal charges at several of our FMC Agricultural Solutions' facilities. In 2016, these restructuring activities continued; however, we expect the restructuring charges to be completed in 2016.

See Note 11 for additional details. Argentina Devaluation On December 17, 2015, the Argentina government initiated actions to significantly devalue its currency. These actions continued into a portion of first quarter of 2016. These actions created an immediate loss associated with the impacts of the remeasurement of our local balance sheet. The loss was attributable to our Lithium and Agricultural Solutions operations. Because of the severity of the event and its immediate impact to our operations in the country, the charge associated with the remeasurement was included within restructuring and other charges in our condensed consolidated income statement during the period. We believe these actions have ended and do not expect further charges for remeasurement to be included within restructuring and other charges. Other items, Net During 2015, our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment entered into collaboration and license agreements with various third parties for the purpose of obtaining certain technology and intellectual property rights relating to compounds under development. The rights and technology obtained is referred to as in-process research and development and in accordance with GAAP, the amounts paid are expensed as incurred since they were acquired outside of a business combination. We entered into one such arrangement in the first quarter of 2015.

(2) These amounts are included in "Environmental liabilities, continuing and discontinued" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (3) These recorded recoveries represent probable realization of claims against U.S. government agencies and are recorded as an offset to our environmental reserves in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies, net of expected recoveries, exceed amounts accrued by approximately $230 million at June 30, 2016 . This reasonably possible estimate is based upon information available as of the date of the filing but the actual future losses may be higher given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites. Potential environmental obligations that have not been reserved may be material to any one quarter's or year's results of operations in the future. However, we believe any such liability arising from such potential environmental obligations is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial condition as it may be satisfied over many years. The table below provides a roll forward of our environmental recoveries representing probable realization of claims against insurance carriers and other third parties. These recoveries are recorded as "Other assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

A more complete description of our environmental contingencies and the nature of our potential obligations are included in Notes 1 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Form 10-K. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Form 10-K for a description of significant updates to material environmental sites. There have been no significant updates since the information included in our 2015 Form 10-K other than the update provided below. On June 21, 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued its Proposed Cleanup Plan for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (“the Proposed Plan”). The Proposed Plan is open for public comment through September 6, 2016. Any potential liability to FMC will represent a portion of the costs of the remedy the EPA selects for Portland Harbor. Based on the current information available in the Proposed Plan as well as the large number of responsible parties for the Superfund Site, we are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of our potential exposure for Portland Harbor at this time.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , there were 1.3 million and 1.8 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS. There were 1.0 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders; as such all 1.9 million potential common shares were excluded from Diluted EPS. Our non-vested restricted stock awards contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, and thus, are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing EPS. The two-class method determines EPS by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Earnings applicable to common stock and common stock shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: (in Millions, Except Share and Per Share Data) Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30 2016 2015 2016 2015 Earnings (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders: Continuing operations, net of income taxes $ 71.0 $ 54.1 $ 125.4 $ (8.3 ) Discontinued operations, net of income taxes (5.8 ) 688.2 (11.9 ) 703.8 Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders $ 65.2 $ 742.3 $ 113.5 $ 695.5 Less: Distributed and undistributed earnings allocable to restricted award holders (0.3 ) (2.0 ) (0.3 ) — Net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders $ 64.9 $ 740.3 $ 113.2 $ 695.5 Basic earnings (loss) per common share attributable to FMC stockholders: Continuing operations $ 0.53 $ 0.40 $ 0.93 $ (0.06 ) Discontinued operations (0.04 ) 5.14 (0.09 ) 5.27 Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders $ 0.49 $ 5.54 $ 0.84 $ 5.21 Diluted earnings (loss) per common share attributable to FMC stockholders: Continuing operations $ 0.53 $ 0.40 $ 0.93 $ (0.06 ) Discontinued operations (0.04 ) 5.12 (0.09 ) 5.27 Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders $ 0.49 $ 5.52 $ 0.84 $ 5.21 Shares (in thousands): Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding - Basic 133,929 133,714 133,865 133,643 Weighted average additional shares assuming conversion of potential common shares 647 731 570 — Shares – diluted basis 134,576 134,445 134,435 133,643

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We determine our interim tax provision using an Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate methodology (“EAETR”) in accordance with GAAP. The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision. The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pretax ordinary income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. As our projections of ordinary income change throughout the year, the EAETR will change period-to-period. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the period they occur in accordance with GAAP. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter can materially impact the reported effective tax rate. As a global enterprise, our tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The below chart provides a reconciliation between our reported effective tax rate and the EAETR. Three Months Ended June 30 2016 2015 (in Millions) Before Tax Tax Effective Tax Rate % Impact Before Tax Tax Effective Tax Rate % Impact Continuing operations $ 104.8 $ 32.0 30.5 % $ 75.9 $ 17.8 23.5 % Discrete items: Acquisition-related charges (1) — — 21.0 7.5 Currency remeasurement (2) 4.9 (1.0 ) 17.7 6.7 Other discrete items (3) 50.7 2.5 13.6 1.9 Tax only discrete items (4) — (0.3 ) — (2.1 ) Total discrete items $ 55.6 $ 1.2 $ 52.3 $ 14.0 Continuing operations, before discrete items $ 160.4 $ 33.2 $ 128.2 $ 31.8 Quarterly effect of changes in the EAETR (5) 20.7 % 24.8 % Six Months Ended June 30 2016 2015 (in Millions) Before Tax Tax Effective Tax Rate % Impact Before Tax Tax Effective Tax Rate % Impact Continuing operations $ 190.5 $ 62.9 33.0 % $ (34.3 ) $ (31.3 ) 91.3 % Discrete items: Acquisition-related charges (1) — — 211.7 77.8 Currency remeasurement (2) 7.2 (0.5 ) 24.0 3.9 Other discrete items (3) 101.7 3.9 35.4 9.2 Tax only discrete items (4) — (3.2 ) — 0.9 Total discrete items $ 108.9 $ 0.2 $ 271.1 $ 91.8 Continuing operations, before discrete items $ 299.4 $ 63.1 $ 236.8 $ 60.5 Year-to-date effect of changes in the EAETR (5) 21.1 % 25.5 % ___________________ (1) Due to the nature of acquisition-related charges incurred during 2016, these charges are not treated discretely in accordance with GAAP. As such, the amounts differ from total acquisition-related charges as presented in Note 3. Acquisition-related charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are primarily taxed at domestic tax rates resulting in a material tax benefit. The acquisition-related charges are comprised of legal and professional fees and a loss incurred from hedging activity associated with the purchase price of Cheminova. See Note 3 for more information. As noted in footnote (2), below, hedge gains or losses are accounted for discretely for GAAP purposes. (2) Represents transaction gains or losses for currency remeasurement offset by associated hedge gains or losses, both of which are accounted for discretely in accordance with GAAP. Certain transaction gains or losses are considered non-taxable permanent items, while offsetting hedge gains or losses are taxable. (3) In accordance with GAAP, subsidiaries for which a full valuation allowance has been provided generally are not accounted for as a component of the EAETR. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Other discrete items component of the EAETR reconciliation primarily relates to the discrete accounting for these pretax losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Other discrete items primarily related to restructuring and IPR&D. (4) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Tax only discrete items is comprised primarily of the tax effect of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations, changes in realizability or measurement of certain deferred tax assets, and changes in prior year estimates of subsidiary tax liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, this component was comprised primarily of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations and changes in realizability or measurement of certain deferred tax assets. (5) The decrease in the EAETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily driven by lower current year projected domestic earnings. Further, domestic tax legislation enacted during the fourth quarter of 2015 has decreased the amount of projected domestic tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to these periods in the prior year.

Financial Instruments Risk Management And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Financial Instruments, Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements	Financial Instruments, Risk Management and Fair-Value Measurements Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, certain receivables classified as other long-term assets, accounts payable, and amounts included in investments and accruals meeting the definition of financial instruments. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value. Our other financial instruments include the following: Financial Instrument Valuation Method Foreign exchange forward contracts Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on current market prices for applicable currencies. Commodity forward and option contracts Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on quoted market prices for applicable commodities. Debt Our estimates and information obtained from independent third parties using market data, such as bid/ask spreads for the last business day of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the financial instruments in the above table have been determined using standard pricing models which take into account the present value of expected future cash flows discounted to the balance sheet date. These standard pricing models, utilize inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves and currency and commodity spot and forward rates. In addition, we test a subset of our valuations against valuations received from the transaction's counterparty to validate the accuracy of our standard pricing models. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts that we would realize in a market exchange at settlement date and do not represent potential gains or losses on these agreements. The estimated fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity forward and option contracts are included in the tables within this Note. The estimated fair value of debt is $2,155.8 million and $2,214.0 million and the carrying amount is $2,042.1 million and $2,148.9 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. We enter into various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk as part of the normal course of business. These off-balance-sheet instruments include financial guarantees and contractual commitments to extend financial guarantees under letters of credit, and other assistance to customers see Note 17 for more information. Decisions to extend financial guarantees to customers, and the amount of collateral required under these guarantees is based on our evaluation of creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Use of Derivative Financial Instruments to Manage Risk We mitigate certain financial exposures, including currency risk, commodity purchase exposures and interest rate risk, through a program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We enter into foreign exchange contracts, including forward and purchased options contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. A detailed description of these risks including a discussion on the concentration of credit risk is provided in Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements on our 2015 Form 10-K. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. We also assess both, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If we determine that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative prospectively. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Cash Flow Hedges We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, we generally designate the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). We record in AOCI changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as and meet all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge. We then reclassify these amounts into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. In contrast, we immediately record in earnings changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2016 , we had open foreign currency forward contracts in AOCI in a net after tax loss position of $3.2 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted sales and purchases. Current open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until March 15, 2017. At June 30, 2016 , we had open forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with various expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $310 million . As of June 30, 2016 , we had current open commodity contracts in AOCI in a net after tax loss position of $0.3 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted purchases, primarily related to natural gas. Current open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2016 , we had an equivalent of 1.3 million mmBTUs (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity forward contracts to hedge forecasted purchases. Of the $3.5 million of net losses after-tax, representing both open foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity contracts, approximately $3.5 million of these losses would be realized in earnings during the twelve months ending June 30, 2017 and $0.0 million of net losses would be realized subsequent to June 30, 2017, if spot rates in the future are consistent with forward rates as of June 30, 2016 . The actual effect on earnings will be dependent on the actual spot rates when the forecasted transactions occur. Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments We hold certain forward contracts that have not been designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Contracts used to hedge the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain monetary assets and liabilities are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments, and changes in the fair value of these items are recorded in earnings. We occasionally hold call options that are effective as economic hedges of a portion of our natural gas exposure and the change in fair value of this instrument is also recorded in earnings. We periodically hold soybean barter contracts which qualify as derivatives and we have entered into offsetting commodity contracts to hedge our exposure. Both the change in fair value of the soybean barter contracts and the offsetting commodity contracts are recorded in earnings. We had open forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes with various expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $1,630 million at June 30, 2016 .

Fair-Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers or sellers in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability that are independent of the reporting entity, knowledgeable and able and willing to transact for the asset or liability. Fair-Value Hierarchy We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair-value hierarchy. The fair-value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement of the instrument. Recurring Fair-Value Measurements The following tables present our fair-value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair-value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities [Abstract]
Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies	Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies We continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to guarantees and indemnifications to identify whether a liability must be recognized in our financial statements. Guarantees and Other Commitments The following table provides the estimated undiscounted amount of potential future payments for each major group of guarantees at June 30, 2016 . These guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. Non-performance by the guaranteed party triggers the obligation requiring us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee. Based on our experience these types of guarantees have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial position or on our liquidity. Our expectation is that future payment or performance related to the non-performance of others is considered unlikely. (in Millions) Guarantees: Guarantees of vendor financing - short-term (1) $ 102.8 Guarantees of vendor financing - long-term (1) 20.1 Other debt guarantees (2) 20.0 Total $ 142.9 ____________________ (1) Represents guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain FMC Agricultural Solutions customers for their seasonal borrowing. This short term amount is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Guarantees of vendor financing.” The long term amount is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within "Other long term liabilities." (2) These guarantees represent support provided to third-party banks for credit extended to various FMC Agricultural Solutions customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. The liability for the guarantees is recorded at an amount that approximates fair-value (i.e., representing the stand-ready obligation) based on our historical collection experience and a current assessment of credit exposure. We believe the fair-value of these guarantees is immaterial. The majority of these guarantees have an expiration date of less than one year. Excluded from the chart above, in connection with our property and asset sales and divestitures, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain liabilities, including environmental contamination and taxes that occurred prior to the date of sale or provided guarantees to third parties relating to certain contracts assumed by the buyer. Our indemnification or guarantee obligations with respect to these liabilities may be indefinite as to duration and may or may not be subject to a deductible, minimum claim amount or cap. As such, it is not possible for us to predict the likelihood that a claim will be made or to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss. If triggered, we may be able to recover some of the indemnity payments from third parties. We have not recorded any specific liabilities for these guarantees. Contingencies A detailed discussion related to our outstanding contingencies can be found in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included within our 2015 Form 10-K.

These costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in the operating segments noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees. These expenses are included as a component of the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). (3) Charges relate to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting, transaction costs, costs for transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs, integration related legal and professional third-party fees and gains or losses on hedging purchase price associated with the planned or completed acquisitions.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items (Policies)	6 Months Ended

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New accounting guidance and regulatory items In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ( "ASU 2016-13" ). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. a January 1, 2020 effective date), with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. a January 1, 2017 effective date). We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. a January 1, 2019 effective date). We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments--Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This new standard changes the criteria by which to measure inventory. Prior to the issuance of this new standard, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market value. This required three separate data points in order to measure inventory. The three data points were cost, market with a ceiling of net realizable value and market with a floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin. This amendment eliminates the two data points defining "market" and replaces them with one, net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This amendment does not impact inventory measured using last-in, first-out. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. We intend to adopt this standard for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 and subsequent amendments will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. Recently adopted accounting guidance In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangements , which provides guidance to determine when a customer's fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement include a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (i.e. January 1, 2016) and entities may elect to adopt the ASU prospectively or retrospectively. We have adopted the standard prospectively. There was no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

As such, the amounts differ from total acquisition-related charges as presented in Note 3. Acquisition-related charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are primarily taxed at domestic tax rates resulting in a material tax benefit. The acquisition-related charges are comprised of legal and professional fees and a loss incurred from hedging activity associated with the purchase price of Cheminova. See Note 3 for more information. As noted in footnote (2), below, hedge gains or losses are accounted for discretely for GAAP purposes. (2) Represents transaction gains or losses for currency remeasurement offset by associated hedge gains or losses, both of which are accounted for discretely in accordance with GAAP. Certain transaction gains or losses are considered non-taxable permanent items, while offsetting hedge gains or losses are taxable. (3) In accordance with GAAP, subsidiaries for which a full valuation allowance has been provided generally are not accounted for as a component of the EAETR. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Other discrete items component of the EAETR reconciliation primarily relates to the discrete accounting for these pretax losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Other discrete items primarily related to restructuring and IPR&D. (4) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Tax only discrete items is comprised primarily of the tax effect of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations, changes in realizability or measurement of certain deferred tax assets, and changes in prior year estimates of subsidiary tax liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, this component was comprised primarily of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations and changes in realizability or measurement of certain deferred tax assets. (5) The decrease in the EAETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily driven by lower current year projected domestic earnings. Further, domestic tax legislation enacted during the fourth quarter of 2015 has decreased the amount of projected domestic tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to these periods in the prior year.

Commitments Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities [Abstract]
Schedule of estimated undiscounted potential future payments for guarantees	The following table provides the estimated undiscounted amount of potential future payments for each major group of guarantees at June 30, 2016 . These guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. Non-performance by the guaranteed party triggers the obligation requiring us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee. Based on our experience these types of guarantees have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial position or on our liquidity. Our expectation is that future payment or performance related to the non-performance of others is considered unlikely. (in Millions) Guarantees: Guarantees of vendor financing - short-term (1) $ 102.8 Guarantees of vendor financing - long-term (1) 20.1 Other debt guarantees (2) 20.0 Total $ 142.9 ____________________ (1) Represents guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain FMC Agricultural Solutions customers for their seasonal borrowing. This short term amount is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Guarantees of vendor financing.” The long term amount is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within "Other long term liabilities." (2) These guarantees represent support provided to third-party banks for credit extended to various FMC Agricultural Solutions customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. The liability for the guarantees is recorded at an amount that approximates fair-value (i.e., representing the stand-ready obligation) based on our historical collection experience and a current assessment of credit exposure. We believe the fair-value of these guarantees is immaterial. The majority of these guarantees have an expiration date of less than one year.

These costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in the operating segments noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees. These expenses are included as a component of the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). (3) Charges relate to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting, transaction costs, costs for transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs, integration related legal and professional third-party fees and gains or losses on hedging purchase price associated with the planned or completed acquisitions.

[1]	Due to the nature of acquisition-related charges incurred during 2016, these charges are not treated discretely in accordance with GAAP. As such, the amounts differ from total acquisition-related charges as presented in Note 3. Acquisition-related charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are primarily taxed at domestic tax rates resulting in a material tax benefit. The acquisition-related charges are comprised of legal and professional fees and a loss incurred from hedging activity associated with the purchase price of Cheminova. See Note 3 for more information. As noted in footnote (2), below, hedge gains or losses are accounted for discretely for GAAP purposes.

[2]	Our non-operating pension and postretirement costs are defined as those costs related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in the operating segments noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees. These expenses are included as a component of the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
[3]	Charges relate to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting, transaction costs, costs for transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs, integration related legal and professional third-party fees and gains or losses on hedging purchase price associated with the planned or completed acquisitions.
