The world's population is growing rapidly, and food prices are constantly rising. Growing large volumes of agricultural crops is becoming problematic, but progress does not stand still. Bayer Crop Science is an agricultural biotechnology company and an expert in crop protection. The agricultural company is rapidly developing and conquering more and more countries to sell protective equipment, with the help of which farmers grow larger crops.
History of the company's development
The existence of the Bayer company began in 1863. Its founders were Friedrich Bayer and Johann Westcott in the city of Barmen, Germany. They began work on the production of synthetic dyes. The business, which began more than one hundred and fifty years ago, has undergone many changes during this period.
In 1876, the founders decided to expand production, and therefore some of the products were produced in Moscow. Trade in goods was successful; over the next 15 years, the company managed to increase its turnover by 3 times.
In 1812, the company switched to the production of pharmaceutical drugs. This business developed well until the First World War began. The company opened its office in Russia for the second time in 1978.
A subsidiary of Bayer Crop Science was formed in 2002. Today its representative offices are located both in the Russian Federation and in the territories of the CIS countries. This subsidiary is working to create:
- Modern plant protection products from pests and weeds.
- Biotechnology of plants and seed material.
- Genetic engineering of food products.
Due to recent activities in its history, there were some negative aspects associated with the manufacture of such goods.
Goals and achievements
Bayer Crop Science always focuses on the quality of its products, so before they are mass produced, they are tested for many years for effectiveness and safety in terms of their effects on humans and animals (especially bees).
The main areas of Bayer's activities include breeding and seed production. She is a leader in the sale of seed material.
The company is highlighting its achievements.For this purpose, demonstration centers are invited, and specialists tell agronomists and farm managers about technologies for growing vegetables, cereals, and fruit trees. They share their experience in detail on how plant protection is carried out.
The company bases them on the principles of pest control. Crop protection involves not only the destruction of harmful insects and pathogens, but also the prevention of their occurrence.
Therefore, the result of their activities is a reduction in the areas where pests have settled, as well as an increase in the profitability of crop production. With the help of Bayer Crop Science products, it is possible to increase fruiting, extend the shelf life of crops, and improve the external attractiveness of fruits and vegetables.
Despite all the positive effects on agricultural crops, it is necessary to strictly adhere to regulations and technology, because otherwise, contamination of the environment is possible.
