Syngenta announced today the first European registration of the new fungicide isopyrazam, which is expected to enhance significantly its market position, notably in cereals. Isopyrazam has a new mode of action and is the first active ingredient from Syngenta's pipeline of next generation fungicides. Isopyrazam will deliver outstanding performance on a wide range of diseases in many crops. Registrations will be sought globally for fruits and vegetables as well as for cereals.

Isopyrazam will be sold in the UK on winter and spring barley, under the brand BONTIMA®, for use in the 2010 season.
