The expanded operation includes Bayer's vegetable seed business, which operates under the global brand Nunhems®, seed treatment products marketed under the brands Poncho®, VOTiVO®, COPeO® and ILeVO®, the R & D platform for hybrid wheat and the cutting-edge digital culture platform complete xarvioTM.
