1 Callisto and Callisto Xtra Confidence and Performance Tank mix partners of choice for residual broadleaf weed control in corn

2 Callisto Brand Herbicides vs. Impact Callisto/Callisto Xtra Premium chemistry with worldclass results Impact Lower performance for lower cost Superior residual control Poor residual activity Wide application window Narrow application window post only Effective large-seeded broadleaf weed control: i.e. giant ragweed Poor performance on problem broadleaf weeds Callisto pre-mixed w/atrazine = Callisto Xtra - Callisto Xtra is a Syngenta Resistance Fighter brand No atrazine pre-mix available - Inconvenient + Inefficient 2 Callisto Xtra is a Restricted Use Pesticide

3 Change the Game Why transition? More modes of action Price competitive Callisto has longer-lasting residual control than Impact. If you like Callisto, you ll love Callisto Xtra because it combines Callisto and atrazine for even longer-lasting residual. If you love Callisto Xtra then you ll really love Halex GT herbicide vs. Impact. There s just no comparison. It combines glyphosate with the residual control of Callisto and Dual Magnum herbicides. It s a no-brainer. - Carroll Moseley Asset Lead, Syngenta 3 Callisto Xtra is a Restricted Use Pesticide

4 Callisto Key Messages Simple - Flexibility to control emerged and emerging seedlings - Longer-lasting control than Impact, Laudis, Status and Capreno - Simple adjuvant story (works with GLY + AMS vs. Impact needing MSO) Smart - Helps manage weed resistance by adding another AI to glyphosate Callisto Xtra = 2 more AI s - Maximum control on tough weeds including waterhemp*, lambsquarters, ragweed and pigweed - Full rate HPPD s are responsible (Resistance Management) Safe to the Crop - Exceptional crop safety Corn no dicamba Soybean rotation minimal carry-over concerns 4 Callisto Xtra is a Restricted Use Pesticide *Callisto, Callisto Xtra, Laudis, Impact and Capreno will not control waterhemp identified as HPPD resistant.

7 Callisto Xtra Key Messages Callisto Xtra is the tank mix partner of choice for long-lasting residual broadleaf weed control in glyphosate-tolerant corn Herbicidal Synergism o Features the patented synergistic power of Callisto herbicide (mesotrione) and AAtrex herbicide (atrazine) in a convenient premix o The control received from the combination of products is better than expected based on each product used alone (ex = 3) Performance o Longer-lasting residual control than Capreno, Laudis, Status or Impact o Faster burndown of weeds compared to glyphosate alone o Powered by Callisto Plant Technology o Excellent crop safety 7 AAtrex and Callisto Xtra are Restricted Use Pesticides

11 Halex GT Key Messages Halex GT is Glyphosate with Residual - Proven performance has made it the #1 glyphosate premix in corn - Delivers burndown and unmatched residual control of more than 90 broadleaf weeds and grasses - Powered by Callisto Plant Technology - Three modes of action (mesotrione, S-metolachlor, glyphosate) - Flexible for use in a one- or two-pass weed management program In a one-pass, post-emergence herbicide program, Halex GT provides the best residual weed control with a single product in glyphosatetolerant corn For optimum yield and return on investment, use Halex GT postemergence in a two-pass program following: - Lumax, Lexar, Bicep or Dual brand herbicides 11 Bicep, Lexar and Lumax are Restricted Use Pesticides

12 Resistance Management BE RESPONSIBLE! Why do we now have HPPD resistance waterhemp? Low rate HPPD chemistry was used alone for several years in a row. This allowed for selection of tolerant waterhemp and adaptation for increased tolerance to HPPD chemistry. How do we protect this technology? The key continues to be using multiple modes of action and using full rates. What role do you play? Be responsible in recommending multiple modes of action and full rates Tell the story so retailers and growers don t take shortcuts By recommending Lumax, Lexar, Halex GT and Callisto Xtra 12 Callisto Xtra, Lexar and Lumax are Restricted Use Pesticides
