Bayer CropScience ag and DuPont have entered into a series of long-term business agreements related to key plant biotechnology traits and enabling technologies that will help increase agricultural productivity. The agreements create significant opportunities for both parties through herbicide and seed sales as well as royalties. The cross license agreements will enable next generation seed solutions and weed and insect control strategies from Bayer and DuPont.
Organizations representing the wheat industry in the U.S., Canada and Australia will begin to work toward the goal of synchronized commercialization of biotech traits in wheat. The U.S. groups participating include the National association of Wheat growers, u.S. Wheat associates and the North american Millers’ association. In a joint release the group stated, “We believe it is in all of our best interests to introduce biotech wheat varieties in a coordinated fashion to minimize market disruptions and shorten the period of adjustment.”
