Bayer CropScience Opens New Development Facilities
Bayer CropScience has opened its Development North American facilities and laboratories, boasting a total of 40,000 square feet of space that will host nearly 70 scientists will conduct crop protection and environmental science research, including pest and turf and ornamentals management.
The $16.1 million investment will allow Development North America to serve as the global center for seed growth formulations as well as the U.S. center for product safety and seed growth technology.
“The agriculture community, professional pest managers and amateur gardeners stand to benefit greatly from expanded facilities and research capabilities,” said Dr. Bob Graney, head of Development North America for Bayer CropScience. “The concentration of innovation and development efforts at the Research Triangle Park campus will allow Bayer CropScience to leverage knowledge and increase collaborations among scientists to grow a healthier world in which we live, work and play.”
“New and renovated facilities will give us increased capabilities to develop agricultural products for the North American and global markets. Our scientists will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to utilize research to benefit an exponentially growing population for years to come.”
