Bayer AG agreed to postpone two upcoming U.S. trials involving its Roundup weedkiller to allow time for mediation talks on a possible settlement with plaintiffs.

The German agriculture giant agreed to delay two trials that were set to begin in January in California, according to an emailed statement to Bloomberg. Other Roundup trials are still scheduled to begin in the same month, Bayer said.
