Rice
Australian rice growers are regarded as the most effective and productive producers in the world and, although only relatively small by world standards, the Australian rice industry has a long, proud history of producing some of the best rice in the world.
Bayer CropScience has had a long association with Australian rice growers and remains today a leading provider of weed control solutions in rice. As a global R&D based crop protection company, Bayer CropScience is committed to discovering
and developing new solutions in the areas of weed, fungal and insect control that are both environmentally responsible and economically viable in the longer term.
Eighty per cent of rice produced in Australia is of medium grain Japonica varieties. These are commonly known as temperate varieties – grown throughout the world in climates similar to Australia
