By collecting data on plant growth, AI can help produce crops that are less prone to disease and better adapted to weather conditions. With the help of AI, scientists can identify the best-performing plant varieties and crossbreed them to create even better hybrids.
Drone technology is unlocking the potential of traditional crop trials and helping to bridge the gap between detailed laboratory studies and field trials. Drones were used to assess an oilseed rape trial this spring at a site in Yorkshire, gathering data that hasn’t been possible before. The trial is a collaboration between Envirofield, Agrii and …
Written by Syngenta Syngenta and the pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) company TraitSeq are combining forces to use the full power of AI for the development of innovative, high-performance biostimulants. Syngenta, a world leader in developing the next generation of biologicals products for agricultural use, will use its extensive knowledge of crop biology to complement TraitSeq’s …
By Erin Hightower agronomist for RDO Equipment Company Recently, I visited my optometrist for an annual eye examination. As we discussed my prescription, I experienced a familiar line of questioning while looking through different lenses: “Is one better?” Click. “Or two?” The optometrist leaned in and casually asked, “How about three?” Instantly, every letter’s line was clear …

This event caught my attention because, as a company, we spend a significant amount of money each year with Amazon and Microsoft on …
Foundational artificial intelligence may still be in its infancy, but it’s already being used to help bring new varieties with better traits to farmers’ fields. Tech Farmer takes a look at some of the AI innovations that are set to speed up the breeding pipeline. Imagine having a brain that never gets tired and retains …
