Emerging Crop Technologies are Poised to Help Address Global Challenges
Agriculture’s Environmental Footprint
Nitrogen-Use efficiency crops
Global Food Security
Enhanced productivity
Higher-Yielding crops
Sustainable production
Healthier Diets
High oleic fats
Omega-3 Soybeans
Water Availability
Drought-tolerant crops
Partnering to share technology with developing world farmers
Biofuel Demands
Yield technologies to help meet demand for both food and fuel
Commercialization depends on many factors, including successful conclusion of the regulatory process.

Quality Seed and Innovative Methods are Revolutionizing Plant Breeding
MOLECULAR BREEDING
Accelerates the Rate of Gain
SEED GERMPLASM LIBRARY Our Building Block for Better Breeding
Soybean Seed Chipper
Automated Marker Analysis
Capability to analyze 10s of millions of samples
Over 40 million marker-trait associations provide detailed genome understanding
Our breeders exchange 1M+ different “packages” of germplasm material annually
>50% of Monsanto’s corn hybrids result from intra-company crosses

Precision Agriculture Optimizes the Field
Geographical
Information Systems
GPS-enabled satellite imaging of agricultural fields
Soil
Type, texture, etc. affect productivity
Seed
Genetics, optimal population & row spacing
Input Management
Precise management of
fertilizers, water, etc.
Agronomy
Conservation tillage, carbon sequestration
Equipment Automation
Single Row Spacing
Twin Row Spacing
