The site will focus on capturing field data and characterising grain sorghum and corn hybrids

Corteva Agriscience announced the opening of a new seed research station in Navasota, Texas. The site will focus on capturing field data and characterising grain sorghum and corn hybrids, applying an analytics-based approach to the challenges facing farmers in South Central Texas.

By leveraging local data, Corteva’s Seed Product Development team can bring new, locally tested, high-performing genetics to market faster.
The new research station opened in February, expanding research, pre-commercial product testing, and characterisation efforts for sorghum and corn products optimised for the southern Plains and Coastal regions. Its proximity to Texas A&M University is expected to bring opportunities to collaborate with world-class sorghum experts as Corteva continues to advance agricultural research technology. In addition, the new research station will provide educational opportunities for K-12 and university students in the area.
