Bayer CropScience aims to contribute to sustainable agriculture, which means
achieving a harmonious balance between economic success, environmental
responsibility and social acceptability.
With its considerable investment in R&D, Bayer CropScience is able to offer
technologies and agricultural solutions that guarantee crops, reduce losses, improve
the quality of produce from the fields and optimise the use of natural resources,
contributing to meeting world food and animal feed requirements.
Our company is one of the global leaders in the supply of innovative products, not
only of insecticides and herbicides, fungicides and seed treatments but also of
integral solutions and services.
With respect to insecticides, Bayer CropScience has always had a high profile in the
control of Ceratitis capitata, being the company that developed Fention (Lebaycid)
that made it possible to control this pest for many years. Our company continues to
conduct research to develop new solutions that will meet the demands of
sustainable agriculture, in agreement with the demands we place on ourselves.
In line with this strategy, Bayer CropScience will be launching an innovative
solution as part of its Mass Trapping solutions this year. This is Decis Trap, which
will enable us to contribute to the necessary modernisation required by all the
Ceratitis control systems. We are also taking initial steps in cooperation with various
official bodies, to conduct research into new solutions that will help to provide an
integrated response for the correct management of this pest, which is of recognised
importance to agriculture in the Mediterranean area.
