AI accelerates varietal selection 🌱⚡
3,000,000 scenarios, 150 winning hybrids, watch how AI accelerates varietal selection at MAS Seeds®
Our predictive engine ingests 5,000 genotypes, reconstructs nearly 3,000,000 virtual crosses and runs them through a simulator to forecast performance under defined conditions. Each cross is scored, examined and ranked—ultimately retaining just 150 of the most promising candidates for validation across micro-plots.
By spotlighting top performers up front, we gain time on the selection cycle, cut costs & risks, and deliver resilient varieties faster.
