Dow AgroSciences receives first global registration for pyroxsulam cereal herbicide

.

Indianapolis, Indiana
November 6, 2007

The Dow AgroSciences LLC strategy to grow its portfolio continues to advance through the first global registration of pyroxsulam, an innovative graminicide for the global cereal marketplace. The compound has achieved registration in Chile and will be sold there under the brand name ADMITT™ herbicide.

“This new molecule will strengthen the company’s position as a leader in cereal herbicides by offering customers outstanding control of major grasses including Avena, Alopecurus, Apera, Bromus, Lolium, some species of Phalaris and many broadleaf weeds,” said Daniel R. Kittle, Ph.D., Dow AgroSciences vice president of Research and Development and Dow Core Biotechnology. “In laboratory and field tests, the molecule has shown the widest-spectrum control for a graminicide in the industry.”

A revolutionary solution, pyroxsulam will complement Dow AgroSciences’ existing portfolio and extend product lifecycles through proprietary mixes. It is another member of the triazolopyrimidine sulfonamide family and evaluations have demonstrated positive environmental characteristics, including fewer rotational crop rotation restrictions than many existing options.

The Chilean registration is the first of many registrations expected by the company, with registration of pyroxsulam in 45 countries including Australia, Canada, USA, and several European countries anticipated in 2008 and beyond.
