In this next episode of my stories from the 2016 IFAJ Congress Bayer Tours we’re going to learn about wheat production. In this ForwardFarm tour stop Cristiane Henk talks about Bayer crop protection products for wheat on the Damianshof Farm. Wheat is the biggest crop in the world in case you didn’t know that.
Wheat can be affected by many different pathogens and the wheat product portfolio for Bayer addresses many of them like fungi and insects. Christiane shows us how Bayer’s products helped this farm deal with yellow rust which was especially prevalent this year.
Besides crop protection Bayer is also working on new wheat hybrids but not at this farm. However, the company does have 7 R&D locations around the world for this type of research.
