      Bayer  Japan  recorded  agrochemical  sales  of  Yen21,000 
    million ($174 million)  in  1997,  down  28% on 1996. 
    Herbicide sales were most affected, down 67%, while 
    insecticide and fungicide sales decreased by 21% and 17%, 
    respectively. Herbicide sales were affected by lower 
    plantings of rice, competition from the introduction of 
    new products and new formulations, and distributors 
    efforts to reduce existing pesticide stocks.

    fungicides sectors. 
    Bayer  Japan  expects the rice fungicide, Win (carpropamid), 
    to become its third most important product in its first year 
    of sales (Agrow No 298, p 5). The fruit fungicide, fenhexamid 
    (ISO proposed),  is expected to be registered in Japan this year, 
    while registration   of   the  rice  herbicide,  fentrazamid  (ISO 
    proposed), is forecast for 1999.
