INSTITUTE, W.Va. (AP) - Bayer Crop Science is increasing production capacity at its Institute plant to meet a growing demand for its Larvin insecticide.

Site leader Nick Crosby says the company plants to hire 24 workers and invest about $3.5 million in one of the plant's two units that make Larvin.

Crosby says Larvin has found a new market niche since the company reformulated it and began marketing it as a seed-treatment product.

Bayer historically has operated one unit for six months, shut it down and then operated the other one. The company now plans to operate both units all year.

Crosby says the changes will boost overall capacity by about 40 percent.
