Bayer CropScience presents the latest studies on the resistance to herbicides and disease of cereal

bayer cropscience, through its programme BayClub Cereal, It has met in Seville to dozens of farmers and farm owners to invite the conferences offered by two experts in the growing of cereal and one of the most common problems. The guests at this ceremony were Maria of the sea Chair Cerón, agronomic Engineer Dr. I.F.A.P.A. 'Rancho la Merced' Centre, and Juan Pedro Ruiz Santaella, researcher of Bayer CropScience.

The researcher of Bayer CropScience at the headquarters of the company in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), Juan Pedro Ruiz Santaella, reported to farmers on the methods that Bayer CropScience has been developed to detect the herbicide resistance of weeds. In this sense Ruiz Santaella explained that since Bayer CropScience "is is helping many farmers worldwide to ensure high levels of production and a high-quality", due to the methods of detection of herbicide resistance that combine "the most modern techniques of molecular biology and biochemical along with traditional methods" in the greenhouse. Juan Pedro Ruiz-Santaella has stressed that the research developed by Bayer CropScience are unique and innovative and provide results that allow "give specific and detailed recommendations that considerably delay the emergence and spread of resistance to herbicides, farmers".

Dozens of farmers and owners of exploitation attended the Conference organised by Bayer CropScience.

For his part, Professor Chair Ceron has offered a talk about the diseases caused by fungi in the grain of winter in Andalusia.
