Bayer Crop Cast

The Bayer Cotton Research Facility in Toowoomba is a crucial part of our R&D efforts. Situated in a prime agricultural region, the Toowoomba facility is strategically placed to conduct relevant and impactful research. The facility employs both laboratories and testing fields to trial new products and technologies, under real-world conditions. The team collaborate with local universities, research institutions, and farming communities to ensure their research addresses practical agricultural challenges. These partnerships also help in the dissemination and adoption of new technologies among Australian farmers.
