Bayer CropScience agrees to sell wheat herbicide to Arvesta Corporation
Registered since October 2000, Everest® is a selective post-emergence grass herbicide for early season control of wild oats, green foxtail and other grasses in winter and spring wheat crops. Everest® provides growers with a rotational tool to manage resistance and is currently sold primarily in Canada and the United States.
"The negotiations with Arvesta were concluded in a professional and expeditious manner and I am very pleased with the results" stated Jochen Wulff, Chairman of the Board of Bayer CropScience.
"In the two years since Everest® was introduced to the market by Bayer, it fulfilled our expectations", added Emil Lansu, Head of the NAFTA-region for Bayer CropScience. "The pending purchase by Arvesta will ensure that this innovative herbicide remains available to the Canadian and US growers who have come to value it."
