The future of crop protection

As climate change quickens, societal expectations increase and the threat of resistance grows, new crop protection solutions are imperative. Using target based and profile driven discovery, we are today designing entirely new crop protection chemistry-based solutions that reach new levels in precision, safety, sustainability and efficacy.

We call this approach CropKey. With CropKey, Bayer is leading the way in creating along-awaited crop protection solutions to protect farmers, their crops, food security and the planet.

Weed management

Among crowded fields, there is no room for weeds that steal crop resources and hinder their ability to reach full harvest. Bayer's weed management program emphasizes the use of customized solutions and best practices to maximize productivity and secure long-term food supplies.

Through new modes of action, digital technologies and agronomic practices, we aim to provide growers around the world with new and innovative weed management services that support their short and long-term needs and goals.

Plant disease management

Much like human health, the preservation of plant health requires the quick identification and treatment of diseases before they can spread. Through data science and artificial intelligence, we are making early disease detection and prevention a reality for global growers.

Through a combination of scientific innovations, technology and products, we offer farmers tailored solutions to not only spot disease early but prevent it from taking hold altogether.

Insect management

Growers' race to protect crops from harmful insects is a marathon, not a sprint.

Integrated pest management is a strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests and the damage they wreak through a combination of techniques such as crop scouting, crop rotation, chemical and biological control, habitat management and use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and resistant crop varieties.

Plant breeding

There has never been a more important time for innovation in agriculture as it is the key to addressing the challenges facing the global food system.

Farmers around the world know that great harvests are enabled by high quality seeds.

Today, our plant breeders and data scientists are collaborating more closely than ever before, discovering and harnessing the genetic diversity of crop families from around the world to help improve lives through better harvests.

Explore our plant breeding solutions.

Biotechnology

Innovations in biotechnology enable our scientists to make targeted improvements within plant DNA based on knowledge gleaned from nature.

From protecting plants against devastating pests to enabling efficient control of weeds through built-in herbicide tolerance, biotechnology traits help farmers preserve the genetic potential of their seed, grow more efficiently and reduce environmental impact.

Explore our biotechnology solutions.

Gene editing

With greater knowledge comes greater potential to drive change.

The last decade has seen a rapid evolution of our understanding of genetics and led to scientific breakthroughs in genome editing tools and methods which are creating huge opportunities for progress across the life sciences, including the potential to shape the future of agriculture.

Sustainability

For us, sustainability means more than just corporate responsibility – it safeguards Bayer’s future growth. Sustainability is therefore an essential component of our corporate strategy, our business activities, our corporate values and the way in which we operate our businesses. Sustainability is at the center of our corporate mission “Health for all, hunger for none” and comprises the following three core elements for all divisions: 

• Inclusive growth and value added for society 
• Reduction of our ecological footprint 
• Responsible business practices along our value chain 

We deploy our innovation power to develop sustainable solutions for the pressing problems of our time. For example, we have established sustainability criteria in our own research and development. Furthermore, we invest in disruptive life science technologies with our Leaps by Bayer unit and promote social innovations with our foundations.
