Vegetable seed companies with hundreds or even thousands of varieties are often faced with the difficult job of identifying the best placement of varieties for growers in diverse markets. It’s not just about yield – growers need varieties that are best suited for their unique growing conditions and climate patterns. Traditionally, seed companies spend countless hours evaluating data, trialling different varieties and sourcing feedback from growers and the value chain. While these inputs are still important, technology now offers a way to accelerate these decisions.
The company announced the signing of a collaboration to harness artificial intelligence (AI) technology to determine the best vegetable varieties to offer growers. Leveraging historical data on geographical conditions and crop trialling, it will use AI-tools with its global product portfolio, with the goal of better predicting the best-performing commercial varieties in different regions to ensure growers have the best possible product offering from the company.
Matthew Johnston, global head of vegetable seeds and flowers at Syngenta, said, “Planting the right seed is critical to a grower’s success. New technologies such as AI can help us bring the best innovation to the field or greenhouse. We’re thrilled to partner with a leader in AI and decision science in the agricultural space, which will provide an exciting opportunity to explore how to better leverage our portfolio for the benefit of growers.”
Brad Zamft, CEO of Heritable Agriculture, said, “We are excited to work with Syngenta to help bring cutting-edge AI tools to help them place products more efficiently. This collaboration with their vegetable seeds team is a great example of the kinds of markets and applications that can be embraced when targeting the latest in AI towards all portions of the agricultural industry.”
