InnerPlant, John Deere, Syngenta to Develop Integrated Precision Platform to Fight Fungus in Soybeans

For the first time ever, signals produced by a plants physiological response to infection will be linked to optimized crop treatments delivered with John Deere See & Spray() technology. Innovative technology allows plants to fluoresce when attacked by fungal pathogens.

DAVIS, Calif. – WEBWIREWednesday, November 8, 2023

InnerPlant, the seed technology company enabling the earliest possible detection of stress in crops to make farming universally more efficient and sustainable, Syngenta, a global leader in agricultural innovation and crop protection, and John Deere, a global leader in the delivery of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, today announce a joint effort to develop an integrated solution to fight fungus in soybeans. The first-of-its-kind solution will link together plants that give off early and specific signals when under attack by fungus with optimized crop protection treatments that are delivered with See & Spray technology.

Fungal diseases are a massive and growing problem facing farmers who already face a great deal of risk in their operations, explains Shely Aronov, CEO and co-founder of InnerPlant. A solution that links signals directly from plants physiological responses to the individualized, precise delivery of optimized inputs will make farmers lives easier by delivering both improved efficacy and efficiency.

Early detection of fungal disease infections is a challenge

Globally, crops are attacked by fungal diseases that result in substantial yield losses. And the problem is getting worse, according to experts who cite climate change and rising resistance to common fungicides as contributing to fast-rising fungal attacks that threaten the worlds food supply and a global health catastrophe.

The technology from InnerPlant allows the detection of plant diseases at the earliest possible stage identifying plant diseases that otherwise often go undetected or untreated, says Feroz Sheikh, Syngentas Chief Information and Digital Officer. We are happy to engage in these initial trials with our partners. Integrated, innovative solutions are a critical path forward for managing the growing impact of soybean diseases and ensuring that farmers have the tools they need to feed the world.

Integrated Precision

InnerPlant creates crops that emit specific optical signals when theyre under stress from pathogen attacks, such as fungal infections. Those signals are visible from machines and satellites as much as two weeks before the stress is visible to the human eye at field level. The data from the crop signals provide early warning of an attack at the individual plant level to assist a crop protection specialist in optimizing the use of a Syngenta product for the treatment of the specific need. John Deeres See & Spray technology allows treatments to be varied and applied only where needed to prevent fungal damage to the crop.

We are excited to see Syngenta join the efforts to develop a solution to improve customer outcomes, says Dan Leibfried, John Deeres Director, Corn & Soy Production Systems. This is the first time we are designing plants, equipment and inputs in an integrated and optimized solution as we work to make farmers more efficient and profitable.

Rumor: Microsoft is working on a Monster Hunter-style game

《魔物獵人 世界》 好評如潮,成為絕對的熱門之作,迄今已售出超過 2000 萬份遊戲;其擴展內容《魔物獵人世界:冰原》的銷量也接近 1000 萬份。因此,很容易看出為什麼其他人可能想要救這樣的熱度分一杯羹。拿微軟當作例子,至少根據記者與業界情報靈通人士 Jeff Grubb 的說法可以看出端倪。在最新一集Giant Bomb 播客當中,他說:「他們正在與 Certain Affinity 合作打造一砍看起來很有《魔物獵人》風格的遊戲──一款《魔物獵人》複製品。他們看到這樣的玩法風格成功,微軟就覺得,『嘿,我們應該試試看製作這種的,有沒有人要提議啊?』」Certain Affinity是一家總部位於德克薩斯州的開發商,由一群曾開發《最後一戰》的前 Bungie 員工創立。他們通常作為一間強化工作室,並參與了《毀滅戰士》、《決勝時刻:現代戰爭重製版》以及最近的《最後一戰:無限》等項目。Grubb 繼續解釋這款《魔物獵人》風格遊戲背後的原因:「他們希望在 Game Pass 上提供更多種類的遊戲,這就是一個例子。他們會說,『我們可能無法在 Game Pass 上獲得《魔物獵人》——那會非常昂貴——但我們絕對想要一款這樣的遊戲,因為我們看到了它的發展潛力,並在長期支援下可以成為一件大事。」雖無任何官方確認,Certain Infinitey 本身已經更新他們的主頁並寫道:「我們很高興地透露,我們正在領導一個新原創 IP 的開發!我們是否對於能夠採用一直喜愛的遊戲類型和風格感到很高興呢?是激動得無法言喻!」雖然這可能在說別的東西,但它確實也非常符合 Jeff Grubb 的描述,所以我們會說這個故事很有可能是真實的——但尚未得到官方證實。來自《魔物獵人 世界》的圖謝囉VGC
