Bayer is expanding its use of artificial intelligence and data-driven methodologies within its Crop Science division to enhance agricultural productivity and safety.

In September 2026, Bayer Crop Science Maroc introduced ResiYou, a digital tool for fruit and vegetable producers. The tool uses AI models to analyze meteorological data, field-collected residue data, and crop biomass to predict residue levels before harvest. This allows farmers to ensure compliance with food safety and traceability standards for specific markets.

By October 2026, the company highlighted its broader research strategy, CropKey, which focuses on designing molecules based on specific biological targets. This approach integrates efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness using AI and data analysis to address climate change and evolving environmental regulations. The strategy was demonstrated at the La Dargoire research center in France.
