Plant breeding, application of genetic principles to produce plants that are more useful to humans. This is accomplished by selecting plants found to be economically or aesthetically desirable, first by controlling the mating of selected individuals, and then by selecting certain individuals among the progeny.

Experienced plant breeders have made great scientific strides to improve the crops you grow. Innovation in plant breeding delivers higher yielding varieties with better agronomic traits, such as disease resistance and stress tolerance, to benefit your farm and bottom line.
