a new owner,” BASF panel member Martin Brudermueller said Wednesday. BASF isn’t regarded that its own plant defense business would be deteriorated by a Bayer/Monsanto tie-up, Mr. Brudermueller claimed, keeping in mind the system’s advancements as well as total pipe. “We are actually not heading to operate off with our rear between our legs due to exactly what is actually happening around us.” Bayer final month made an all-cash deal to get Monsanto Co. for$ 62 billion

, which Monsanto turned down as also reduced. The offer for Monsanto begins the heels of an unification in the seed sector, featuring ChemChina’s purpose Syngenta AG( SYT). Create to Heide Oberhauser-Aslan at heide.oberhauser@wsj.com( EDGE
