Plene - increasing yields case study

PLENE is an innovative yield-increasing technology for sugar cane, due to be launched in 2011. PLENE sugar cane segments are treated with seed care applications to protect them in early growth stages. Planting is faster and easier than conventional methods. This will reduce the costs of sugar cane planting by 15 percent per hectare.

Our development team is working with leading agricultural equipment manufacturer John Deere to develop more fuel-efficient machinery to do this. Growers can harvest and replant crops more frequently, ensuring stable sugar content over time.
