WE LEVERAGE DNA INFORMATION TO DEVELOP HYBRID SEED FROM SCRATCH
A Paradigm Shift
Established agricultural programs develop hybrid seed using methods that are both time consuming and expensive. They are based on creating in-bred lines over many generations, and they rely on the crop-specific expertise of a vanishingly small number of breeders for limited crop types. We offer an alternative.
CONVENTIONAL METHOD
EEDI AG TECHNOLOGY
Develop proprietary germplasm collection over 10 – 80 years.
Expensive licensing of germplasm collection if no in-house collection exists.
Relies on breeders with deep experience in a single crop type.
In-breeding process that takes about 11 years from parent development to launch.
Process may fail at the final step and require multiple repeated cycles, possibly taking decades to achieve desired results.
Circumvent lengthy inbreeding process.
Either no licensing of germplasm collections or use collections in the public domain.
Leverages our genome knowledge for limitless crop varieties.
Go to market in just a few years
​
DNA-based approach produces results in predictable process.
