Collaborative Breeding Teams
Plant breeding as a science is transforming, and so is Bayer Vegetable Seeds. At the forefront of these evolutions is Bayer’s enhanced collaborative breeding pipeline teams (CBPT). These multifaceted teams include specialized scientists such as data gathering, trait discovery, testing and in-field application professionals. A CBPT brings a specialized focus to further technological advancements and data insights. Together our growers, breeders and scientists are acquiring more data now than ever, while also implementing advanced breeding technologies, meaning Bayer varieties will potentially be brought to the market quicker, and perform stronger. Leading advancements in breeding takes a dedicated and passionate team. Meet our collaborative breeding team:
