We create crops that can communicate their needs
About us
InnerPlant gives plants a voice via technology that enables crops to communicate what they need. Our crops signal optically if they need more Nitrogen, are attacked by pathogens or insects. Our easy to collect signals can be picked up from field equipment and all the way up to satellites in space. InnerPlant is creating a new data source for the agriculture ecosystem. Enabling efficient cost effective monitoring of large scale crops like soybeans and corn and plant by plant management from field equipment. Driving up to 20% higher yields, while reducing inputs by over 30%. The future of farming is more efficient, more resilient, and more sustainable.

Tar spot disease can threaten crop yields through breakouts on the foliage. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a way to induce the pathogen on demand to better understand its infection processes. https://lnkd.in/g82H2B_6

Plants and fungi are capable of forming symbiotic relationships in agriculture production. A recent study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase soybean growth by 65% in acidic and nutrient-deficient soils. https://lnkd.in/gSaSbKcw
-
Researchers across five different organizations have teamed up to increase soybean yields using genetic analysis. The multi-disciplinary group will investigate how heat and droughts impact soybean flower bud retention and eventual pod production. https://lnkd.in/g93VMBdR

Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing weed detection for farmers in a variety of different ways. Researchers suggest that machine learning (ML) can process real-time data faster, while deep learning (DL) can function with greater accuracy. https://lnkd.in/gw-HCuhf

Healthy soils are the foundation of growing healthy crops. Instituting regenerative agriculture practices through reduced tillage, regular soil sampling, and integrated crop systems can prolong a farm’s climate resilience. https://lnkd.in/dJ6xUsme

Plant height alone does not determine how productive soybean harvests will be. Shorter soybeans can reveal crop resilience and adaptation to high temperatures in the early stages of development. https://lnkd.in/g7RKc3TN

Double-cropping can increase overall crop production and farmers’ profits within a given year. A study from the University of Wisconsin suggests that planting multiple mature soybean groups earlier in the season can lead to higher combined yields. https://lnkd.in/gagbjTnW

High temperatures do not always lead to unhealthy corn yields. Other factors like adequate moisture availability can reduce evapotranspiration during important growth stages and protect development. https://lnkd.in/g6g3Zgqh
