Top Six GM Crop Countries (million hectares)

17.3 million farmers in 28 countries grew biotech crops on 170 million hectares in 2012. A 100 fold increase from 1.7 million hectares grown in 1996

Source: Clive James ISAAA, 2013 (International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications)

15 million farmers are in developing counntries;

• 7.2 million cotton farmers in China,

• 7.2 million cotton farmers in India

• Approx 1 million are spread across other countries


Modern Breeding – Innovation Tool Box

Objectives of the breeder…

Develop new plant varieties with improved yield, stress resistance and quality

• Protect harvests against disease, insects, weeds and drought stress

• Enhance yield through improved nutrient uptake and utilization

• Add differentiating quality parameters eg. oil profiles, improved taste and shelf life and fiber properties

… and the tool box

Optimizing the right tools or combination of tools

Precision Plant

Characterization Opportunities in

Crop Traits

Molecular Breeding

Selection Methods Genetic Modification


Fighting Yield-Robbing Pests in Rice

Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH) affect nearly 40% of all

Asian hybrid rice acreage, damaging rice plants by feeding

and transmitting viruses that severely reduce yields

The new hybrid represents a significant breeding achievement:

• Five genes were combined through modern breeding methods to deliver a high

level of resistance that will prevent infestation by viruses transmitted by BPH

Grower benefits:

• BPH resistance is available in Bayer’s block-buster Arize 6444, which yields

consistently 25-30% above in-breds

• Built-in resistance provides an efficient solution for improved yields, farmer

profits and sustainability

In the pipeline:

• Submergence tolerance, salinity tolerance, blast resistance


Changing the Game in Cotton

Bayer changed the game in the US cotton business:

Our Innovation will change it again by 2014*

• First dual herbicide - dual insecticide product available in cotton

• A foundation product for future cotton solutions

A powerful new insect, weed and resistance management tool for

cotton growers

Grower benefits:

• Effective technology in high-yielding FiberMax ® & Stoneville® varieties

• New choices for efficient and effective crop management and increased

productivity

• A critical tool in the fight against weed resistance - a major challenge facing

growers all over the globe

In the pipeline:

• Bioengineered cotton fibers, New herbicide tolerance option plus drought

tolerance

*Pending regulatory approvals


Integrated solutions to

get the best out of crops

• Herbicide tolerant traits

• Insect resistant traits

• Yield optimization traits

• Photosynthetic efficiency traits

• Drought resistance traits

A New Revolution in Agriculture

A holistic approach where stakeholders in agriculture unite to achieve a more sustainable

way of growing crops, at the quantities we need to help advance world food security

Leading innovation

…helping address agriculture’s top challenges through new solutions

Enabling farmers big and small

…providing them with tools, technology and training to thrive

economically in the long-term

Driving a sustainable intensification of agriculture

…helping to raise both productivity and environmental compatibility

Enhancing human health

…improving the nutritional value of certain crops and contributing

to a healthy food supply

Extending partnerships

…leveraging the potential of collaboration in modern agriculture


Sustainable Benefits along the Value

Chain: Fiber Manufacturing

Farmer Ginner Spinner Weaver Retailer Consumer Breeder

Alkaline

treatment Bleaching Finishing Dyeing

Issues:

• low reactivity

• reduced fiber strength

• ….

Low dyeing efficiency:

• high salt

• hydrolyzed dye

• multiple washing steps

Low dyeing efficiency means high consumption of chemicals, water and energy

Bottlenecks during cotton processing might be addressed by novel bioengineered cotton fibers


Innovation for Green Growth: Summary

Global innovation drivers:

• climate, population, resources, economics

Investing in Sustainable innovative solutions

helps farmers and their families live better

lives

A New Revolution in Agriculture forges long

term success

Sustainable benefits can be appreciated right

along the value chain

…But we cannot do it without your help


Thank you!
