This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Jul 24, 2009. Selective
Herbicides: major brands AXIAL®, CALLISTO® family, DUAL®/BICEP
® MAGNUM, FUSILADE®MAX, TOPIK
®
Sales were up on
broad-based price increases reflecting Syngenta’s leading global position in
selective herbicides. Growth was led by AXIAL® and
TOPIK® with
both products performing strongly on cereals in North America. In the
USA, increased soybean acreage and weed resistance resulted in renewed demand
for soybean herbicides.

Increased corn
acreage was accompanied by sales growth above 10% in all major products. In the
USA growers seeking to maximize yield increasingly recognized the importance of
treatment programs including selective herbicides. The CALLISTO® family of products also
continued to expand in Europe and Latin America. Growth in AXIAL® accelerated in a
favorable market environment and sales exceeded US$100 million.

AXIAL®, our new cereal herbicide, grew rapidly
in an expanding cereals market with launches in key European countries and
further expansion in NAFTA and Western Europe. The CALLISTO® family of products saw double digit
growth with a continuation of its successful roll-out outside the USA. Soybean herbicides staged a resurgence
in sales as a result of acreage growth in Latin America and glyphosate-resistance issues in the USA.

FUSILADE®MAX, TOPIK®
Sales were
driven by an expanding cereals market which accelerated the adoption of
AXIAL® with its
proven flexibility for wheat and barley growers. The roll-out of the
CALLISTO®
family outside the USA benefited from higher corn acreage and strong
acceptance of a product range tailored to local needs.

TOPIK®
The CALLISTO® range for corn continued to expand in both the Americas and in Europe augmented by the roll-out of combination products. In the USA sales of selective herbicides overall were lower due primarily to a reduction in corn acreage. In cereal herbicides, AXIAL® was successfully launched in a number of major markets. Sales of TOPIK® were lower reflecting unfavorable weather conditions in Europe and the USA.
This excerpt taken from the SYT 20-F filed Mar 1, 2006. Selective Herbicides: major brands BICEP MAGNUM®, CALLISTO®/LUMAX®, DUAL MAGNUM®, FUSILADE® MAX, TOPIK®
Selective herbicides sales increased by 9%, 4% at constant exchange rates, with volumes 5% higher but local currency prices averaging 1% lower. Sales growth was driven by the CALLISTO® range, which grew further in the US corn-belt with the launch of LEXAR® in central and southern states. CALLISTO® sales also expanded rapidly in Europe. A decline in US sales of DUAL® /BICEP® MAGNUM was partially offset by growth in other regions. ENVOKE® made a significant contribution following its launch on cotton in the USA and there was further growth in Brazil. TOPIK® benefited from favorable conditions in France and southern Europe and from strong demand on wheat in India; in the expanding markets of Eastern Europe sales were up more than 50%.

FUSILADE®MAX, TOPIK®
Sales of selective herbicides were driven by the CALLISTO® range, with further successful launches in Europe and growth of over 30 percent in the USA, notwithstanding increased herbicide-tolerant acres. Growth in the CALLISTO® range was partly offset by a decline in sales of older products such as DUAL®/BICEP® MAGNUM and atrazine. Sales of the cereal herbicide TOPIK® were lower in Western Europe but continued to grow in Eastern Europe. APIRO® continued to increase on rice in Japan and South Korea.
This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Jul 28, 2005. Selective Herbicides: major brands CALLISTO® family, DUAL®/BICEP® MAGNUM, ENVOKE®, FUSILADE®MAX, TOPIK®
Sales of selective herbicides were driven by the CALLISTO® range with further successful launches in Europe and strong growth in the USA, despite further penetration of herbicide-tolerant technology. Growth in the CALLISTO® combination products, LUMAX® and LEXAR®, was particularly strong due to their excellent, broad-based weed control. There was a further decline in the sales of DUAL®/BICEP® MAGNUM. ENVOKE® continued to grow following its launch on cotton last year. Sales of TOPIK® grew strongly in NAFTA and eastern Europe, offsetting declines elsewhere.
This excerpt taken from the SYT 20-F filed Mar 16, 2005. Selective Herbicides: major brands BICEP MAGNUM®, CALLISTO®/LUMAX®, DUAL MAGNUM®, FUSILADE MAX®, TOPIK®
Sales of selective herbicides were 7% higher and 1% higher at constant exchange rates, with volumes 1% lower and local currency prices 2% higher. Sales of the CALLISTO® range in corn more than doubled to US$218 million, including the successful US launch of a new combination product, LUMAX®, for broad-spectrum weed control. Sales of DUAL®/BICEP MAGNUM® were strong in the second half, notably in the USA, and went some way towards offsetting the lower first half, but were lower for the year and together with the impact of product range rationalization, which reduced sales by 1%, offset the CALLISTO® growth. In cereals, sales of the grass herbicide TOPIK® increased, reflecting stronger wheat markets in NAFTA and Asia Pacific. FUSILADE® increased, particularly for soybeans in Brazil and due to the successful rollout of new formulation in central and Eastern Europe.
This excerpt taken from the SYT 6-K filed Feb 15, 2005. Selective Herbicides: major brands CALLISTO® family, DUAL®/BICEP® MAGNUM, ENVOKE®, FUSILADE®MAX, TOPIK®
Sales of selective herbicides were driven by the CALLISTO® range, which further extended market penetration in the US corn-belt augmented by the launch of LEXAR® in central and southern states. CALLISTO® also expanded rapidly in Europe. A decline in sales of DUAL®/ BICEP® MAGNUM in the USA was partly offset by growth in other regions. ENVOKE® made a significant contribution following its launch on cotton in the USA and generated further growth in Brazil. TOPIK® was particularly successful in southern Europe and in the expanding markets of Eastern Europe, where sales were up by more than 50 percent.
