Research at Bayer CropScience
In 2009, EUR 653million, or 24 percent of the Bayer Group's research and development budget, was spent in the CropScience subgroup.
Bayer CropScience is one of the world's leading crop science companies in the fields of
crop protection, non-agricultural pest control, seeds and plant biotechnology.
Major areas of focus include not only conventional crop protection but also plant
biotechnology. The main aim of research and development work in plant biotechnology is to improve
the agronomic characteristics and quality of crop plants. The technologies employed in this area
comprise all the tools required to improve important crops such as cotton, canola and rice for
producers and industry partners – from the identification of a target gene to the development of a
plant.
Topical examples of active ingredients to emerge from research at Bayer CropScience are:
- Fluopicolide (lead brand: Infinito®): fungicide with a new mechanism of action to control fungus strains that have already acquired resistance to standard fungicides;
- Flubendiamide (lead brand: Belt®): insecticide for foliar spray application that protects mainly against all major types of caterpillar;
- Tembotrione (lead brand: Laudis®): new leaf-active herbicide that destroys weeds’ protection against UV light;
- Quickbayt®: insecticide to control flies in stables;
- Exemptor®: insecticide for the green industry.
