Breakthrough Innovation:
How PowerPollen Works

Commercially deployed on thousands of acres in the U.S. and internationally, PowerPollen’s proprietary technology collects, preserves and applies pollen on-demand—enabling precise, reliable pollination when and where it’s needed most. 

Key Benefits

Up to 30% yield increase in seed production

Improved seed quality and reliability

Reduced need for male rows, freeing land for high-value crops

Increased hybrid seed purity

Impact on Production Systems

Sustainability and Climate Resilience

By enabling targeted, on-demand pollination, PowerPollen reduces the need for male plant rows, saving land, water, and inputs. Our solutions help mitigate climate risks — such as drought and pollinator decline — by ensuring reliable seed set even under adverse conditions, supporting a more sustainable and resilient food system.

  • Eco-Friendly - The technology promotes sustainable agriculture by enabling scalable production of hybrid seeds, such as rice, which are often more resistant to pests, diseases, and climate challenges, reducing the need for chemical inputs and environmental impact.

  • Resource-Efficient - Improved pollination efficiency minimizes the need for excessive planting or resource-heavy interventions to compensate for poor pollination, optimizing land, water, and energy use for sustainable crop production.

Demonstrated Commercial Impact

PowerPollen’s track record includes commercial partnerships and research collaborations with industry leaders such as Bayer, Corteva, BASF, and RiceTec, validating both the scalability and value of our technology. Our joint venture, PowerPollen Rice, is accelerating hybrid rice adoption to address food security and sustainability for billions worldwide. Companies and growers benefit from:

  • Lower cost of goods sold (COGS)

  • Reduced seed discard and improved resource efficiency

  • Up to $1,000 added value per acre for corn seed producers

  • Optimized pollination timing
