There are significant challenges that farmers growing pearl millet and pulses encounter, like low yielding varieties and limited technological progress. However, modern science is always progressing to look for solutions that prove advantageous to farmers.
From seeding to harvesting, Bayer partners with Indian farmers that grow millet and pulses, to provide innovative products and solutions, including seeds that deliver higher yields and popular herbicides and insecticides that control a wide range of pests and diseases.
Bayer’s portfolio of products helps farmers reap good harvests and substantially grow their farm incomes.
Pearl millet is a tough crop ideal for dry regions and is an essential solution for food and animal feed in these areas. Pulses are also an important crop because India is their largest consumer and producer. Pigeon peas, chickpeas, and lentils are among the most widely grown pulses in India.
In India, where farmers face challenges like limited resources and crop diseases, effective solutions are necessary to avoid any demand-supply gaps due to the possibility of a productivity decline.
Bayer’s Fame® and Larvin® solutions effectively control pests such as heliothis, maruca, and spodopetra in pulse crops.
Bayer gives a practical solution for farmers: the 9444 Gaucho millet seed. This treated hybrid millet seed protects against termites and downy mildew. Farmers often use atrazine spray to manage weeds before and after the crop matures. To fight the deadly downy mildew disease, Bayer treats their millet seeds with metalaxyl to remove the need to spray any additional chemicals, saving farmers money.
Bayer focuses on new technology and chemical mechanisms to ensure advanced solutions for crop protection. Bayer is among the leaders in developing the latest fungicides and is now conducting institutional trials for label expansion. We also invest in the latest seed treatment solutions that improve germination and pest control, showing our dedication to agricultural advancement.
Bayer provides valuable services for farmers, including expert advice on disease and pest issues. Our integrated approach combines crop protection and services, providing considerable value to pulse growers and ensuring a successful harvest.
