NATIVE TRAITS CORPORATION

Native Traits Corporation uses ancestral strains of corn (maize) to develop varieties that are resilient in the face of drought, temperature extremes, diseases, insects, and weeds. Until now, corn production has required an ever-increasing array of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, usually in combination with genetically engineered (GMO) varieties. AgResilient TM hybrids provide a pathway to a dramatically different style of agriculture. Compared to GMO-type varieties, AgResilient TM hybrids have a double-digit advantage in grain yield. Commercial production and marketing is underway in collaboration with seed company partners.
