Syngenta fortifies US market position with LEXAR(TM) corn herbicide
With its recent registration by the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA), LEXAR(TM) is approved for use on all field corn varieties. LEXAR(TM) is a new herbicide in the CALLISTO® range, a product family with sales of $243 million in the first six months of 2004.
"LEXAR(TM) is a powerful product that provides broad-spectrum weed control with a single application," said John Atkin, Chief Operating Officer of Syngenta Crop Protection. "LEXAR(TM) targets soil conditions and problem weeds specific to the central and southern US corn-growing areas. It will complement LUMAX® herbicide, which is designed for the northern geography. Enlarging our successful CALLISTO® range will allow us to further build on our market leading position in US corn."
