Cereal crop cultivar development: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Genetic variability in corn varieties limits the consistent delivery of high yield and disease resistance across diverse agronomic environments.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Cereal crop cultivar development?

Wheat disease yield loss

(47)evidences

Existing winter wheat varieties lack the combined genetic potential for high grain yield, disease resistance, and multi-use agronomic quality required for commercial production.

Corn stalk structural failure

(87)evidences

Standard corn varieties suffer from yield loss and physical degradation due to poor stalk strength and disease susceptibility.

Corn seedling emergence deficiency

(24)evidences

Standard corn varieties often suffer from yield loss and physical lodging due to weak stalks and insufficient disease resistance.
