Bayer anti-FAW product gets registered

Bayer Crop Science (BCS) recently obtained registration from the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) for a crop protection product that controls the fall army worm (FAW) that destroyed at least 8,000 hectares of corn farms nationwide in the last cropping season.

“Infestation of fall army worm has brought farmers big problems, so we are fortunate that the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority released a conditional registration for Yeoval,” said John Fajardo, BCS agronomic system manager for corn in Southeast Asia and Pakistan.
