Bayer Opens First Agricultural Technology Center in Argentina
September 14, 2007| |
Representatives of Bayer CropSciences inducted their first agricultural technology center in Buenos Aires. The center, the third for South America after Colombia and Brazil, will be the testing site for Bayer’s new active ingredients in local crops, which will be optimized later for Argentine agricultural conditions. In its first year of operation, the center will assess product efficacy and the impact of various stresses like drought, salinity and solar radiation on growth and yields on various crops.
During the inauguration ceremony, Pascal Cassecuelle, Head of Bayer CropScience La Plata Region, said: “We want to work close to the Argentine farmers. This implies knowing their needs and developing customized, sustainable products which meet their requirements. The new center is a fundamental step in expanding these activities; this innovation serves our customers' needs.”
