When testing a pesticide for a new crop these are the protocols.

When Labeling

 Callisto is based on Leptospermone.
The original organic chemical proved to be uneconomic and analogs were formulated.
Some of the original analogs were too toxic to be economic.
There are multiple patents regarding how to formulate Mesotrione which afford varying degrees of repeatability.

Quality Assurance at Syngenta :

  • Industry Standards: Syngenta, as a major player in the agricultural industry, likely adheres to established quality standards set by organizations like AOAC International https://www.aoac.org/ (Association of Official Agricultural Chemists) or ISO https://www.iso.org/home.html (International Organization for Standardization). These standards outline best practices for things like product development, testing, and manufacturing.
  • Regulatory Requirements: Syngenta operates globally and must comply with regulations set by different countries for agricultural products. These regulations often involve quality assurance protocols for safety and efficacy.
  • Syngenta likely has their own internal quality assurance policies that go beyond basic compliance. These might involve additional testing procedures or quality control measures specific to their products.


    • CRM Customer Response Management
    I find no evidence of internet facing CRM. It is suspected that there sales representatives utilize general CRM software from
    companies like Salesforce to manage customer interactions related to all their products,     including pesticides.




    The Product (Multiple patents) Varying degrees of Uniformity
    Different formulations are more or less prone to producing the proper product.
    Pesticide Training (Tank Mixes) SEE PAGE 145  All indications are that the tank mix was never tested or properly designed.
    It is questionable if the end users had an understanding of how Callisto works. >>>HPPD inhibitor.
    Sensitivity varies by cultivar.
    • Rice
      Sensitivity to hppd inhibitor depends on the cultivar, with japonica cultivars usually tolerant and indica cultivars highly sensitive
