Bayer has had several researchers begin the process of its new Testing4Ag program to submit novel crop protection compounds. Phil Taylor, Bayer’s open innovation lead for research and development, tells Brownfield Ag News, “Even though we’ve got the largest R&D pipeline in the industry with about a $2-Billion a year spend, we don’t know everything. We don’t have all the answers and so we wanted to engage the global external community and bringing their best ideas forward.”
Testing4Ag is a partnership with Halo that he says will help scientists learn more about their own compounds through testing and transparent results.
