Boosting yield — the amount of corn grown per acre — is crucial not just for increasing corn production to meet all needs, but to do it in a sustainable way that uses natural resources more efficiently. And developing new seed technology is one of the most effective ways of boosting yield.
But this can be a slow and daunting process. And that’s why new technology from DuPont may be important. DuPont’s Pioneer Hi-Bred International division is using laser technology to help speed up research. The competitive landscape of seed technology has gone far to help feed and fuel the world and should be welcomed by all who are concerned about energy security and world hunger.

DUPONT SHOULD DEVELOP HIGH YIELD SEEDS OF RICE,WHEAT,PEANUT,SOYABEAN AND CORN TO BOOST PRODUCTIVITY IN AGRI SECTOR.THE FARMERS REQVIRE HIGH YIELD SEEDS, WATER AND FERTILISER TO PRODUCE BUMPER STOCKS.THE SCIENTISTS,GOVERNMENTS AND FARMERS SHOULD WORK ROUND THE CLOCK TO SERVE WORLD NEEDS OF FOOD,FEED,FUEL AND CLOTH.
