Seed companies have long worked to improve performance through genetics and a better understanding of the environments where crops grow. But a seed enters the field with another factor in play: microbes.
Register Now for Jord Bioscience’s upcoming webinar on this topic!
What changes when we think of the seed and its microbes as a system? This webinar explores how microbial seed treatments may help plants respond to stress, interact with the surrounding microbiome and realize more of their genetic potential. We’ll look at what this means for seed companies seeking the next gains in crop performance.
What You’ll Learn
- Why field performance depends on more than genetics and growing conditions: it emerges from the interaction among genetics, environment and microbes.
- How seed genetics set a plant’s potential, while its microbial partnerships may influence how much of that potential it achieves.
- Where microbial inoculants may help plants respond to environmental stress and shape the biological conditions around the seed.
- Why an inoculant’s value may extend beyond its direct function to effects it triggers in the plant and surrounding microbiome.
- How seed companies can evaluate microbial seed treatments as part of a broader strategy for crop performance.
