Corteva Agriscience opens seed research station in South Central Texas

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.
