Bayer has announced a series of decisions to accelerate the strategy implementation of its Crop Science division. In order to focus on its core agricultural business, this includes the intent to divest the company’s Environmental Science Professional business.

The unit offers environmental solutions to control pests, disease and weeds in non-agricultural areas such as golf course management, lawn and landscape management, production ornamentals, vector control, professional pest management, industrial vegetation management, forestry, and Turf & Ornamentals. The Environmental Science Professional business had sales of more than USD725 million in 2019.
