Modern crop protection
Our firm belief in modern crop protection
Chemical crop protection is an indispensable element of competitive, high-yield agriculture. It is an essential requirement if consumers are to be supplied with high-quality, healthy and safe foodstuffs at a reasonable price, and if farming is to be based on sustainable and environmentally compatible use of our natural resources.
Bayer CropScience remains faithful to its ongoing program of minimizing possible harm to operators, environment and consumers by constant furtherance of innovation and knowledge. Modern integrated pest management combines products, methods and technologies which make it possible to fulfill economic, ecologic and social requirements in equal measure.
Crop protection products are important not only for progress in productivity but also for the sustainable development of global agriculture. They safeguard high yields and qualities; they enable scarce or limited resources such as land, energy and capital to be used efficiently. Crop protection products also help to improve agricultural incomes and working conditions.
Highly developed regions such as Europe or North America are not the only ones to enjoy the resulting benefits. The southern hemisphere, in particular, profits from modern agricultural technologies and crop protection products, such as those from Bayer CropScience, which safeguard harvest yields and help to feed a rapidly increasing population.
This challenge is becoming greater every year. Farmland can no longer be opened up sufficiently to keep up with population growth. Bayer CropScience is convinced that it is becoming more important than ever to pursue intensive agriculture and safeguard yields with the aid of innovative crop protection products. In view of this situation, it will be vital to continue research and development on innovative products and new application techniques for crop protection. As one of the leaders in the crop protection industry, Bayer CropScience supports responsible agricultural practice and is conscious of a special responsibility in this regard.
