Peter R Mueller, Head of the Crop Science division, Bayer South Asia spoke to Rajesh Bhayani on the company's plans for India and the Bayer-Monsanto merger scenario. Excerpts:

We are cooperating with all relevant regulators in several jurisdictions, including in India and Europe.

We are making every effort
