Bayer CropScience subsidiary Nunhems has opened a €2 million (£1.7m) experimental station in the Spanish region of Murcia.
The 16-hectare site in Cartagena will breed new melon, lettuce, artichoke and pepper varieties, as well as conduct phytopathology research into these crops.
Nunhems’ ceo Douwe Zijp said at the opening ceremony: “Innovation is a key success factor in our business. Nunhems anticipates future trends and constantly renews its product portfolio. We do so in close co-operation with communities like Cartagena, where we can count on favorable growing conditions, a sound infrastructure and local expertise.”
