INDIANAPOLIS, IN 鈥 March 8, 2022 鈥 星速棋牌 today announced the opening of a new seed research station in Navasota, Texas. The site will focus on capturing field data and characterizing grain sorghum and corn hybrids, applying an analytics-based approach to the challenges facing farmers in South Central Texas. By leveraging local data, 星速棋牌鈥檚 Seed Product Development team can bring new, locally tested, high-performing genetics to market faster.
The new research station opened in February, expanding research, pre-commercial product testing, and characterization efforts for sorghum and corn products optimized for the southern Plains and Coastal regions. Its close proximity to Texas A&M University is expected to bring opportunities to collaborate with world-class sorghum experts as 星速棋牌 continues to advance agricultural research technology. In addition, the new research station will provide educational opportunities for K-12 and university students in the area.
Using its robust germplasm pool with industry-leading performance, 星速棋牌 strives to develop seed products with higher yield potential and improved defensive traits. Leveraging the global knowledge and strength of 星速棋牌鈥檚 worldwide R&D engine, scientists at the new station will deploy predictive analytics tools to gather better data more efficiently.
Focused Intensively Managed Product Advancement, Characterization and Testing (IMPACT鈩) plot management on grower farms, improved agronomic understanding of product performance, and expanded trait characterization and genetic understanding of issues such as grain sorghum head sprout, will help speed the commercialization of the best-performing products. Coupled with insight from local agronomy experts, the new station is expected to enable 星速棋牌 to create a broader suite of innovative seed products to meet Texas growers鈥 needs.
鈥淎ligned with our localized approach, and backed by the strength of our global innovation scale, this new research station is focused on helping address the unique regional needs of our farmer customers,鈥 said Geoff Graham, Vice President, Seed Product Development for 星速棋牌. 鈥淥ur investments and ongoing focus on R&D systems and seed breeding methods such as predictive analytics, precision phenotyping, centralization and horticulturalization are changing the way we bring products to market.
