Includes Crop Protection, Pioneer Hi-Bred and Nutrition & Health businesses, sales of $3.2 billion increased $180 million, or 6%, reflecting 5% higher selling prices and 1% volume growth. Segment sales reflect higher North America seed volumes and seed price gains in each region, partially offset by delays in the European planting season. Crop protection product volumes were down slightly reflecting northern hemisphere sales pattern shifts, which were partly offset by strong global sales for Rynaxypyr®. Food and nutrition product sales were up modestly. PTOI of $941 million improved 10% from higher selling prices, principally due to currency, and higher volumes.
