Innovating every day

Vylor invests nearly $3 million every day to discover new innovations for farmers around the world. Today, our 3,000+ scientists are turning these scientific discoveries into tomorrow’s breakthroughs. From breeding and biotechnology, to breakthroughs in gene editing and AI, we’re unlocking new ways to:

  • Increase yield on the same amount of land
  • Combat insects, weeds, pests and diseases
  • Increase crop resiliency
Vylor's research operations include more than 130 sites. Our industry-leading scientists enable the advancement of critically-needed technologies that help support farmer productivity and profitability. ​
Over the next decade, Vylor will launch 12 new technology platforms in corn, soy, and wheat. This includes biotech traits for major insect pests like fall armyworm and corn rootworm across the Americas. The industry's first yield and yield stability technology, the industry's first multi-disease resistance corn product developed with gene editing, and Vylor's own proprietary hybrid wheat breeding system called XpediteTM.

Innovation in biotechnology

Innovations in biotechnology allow Vylor to protect a plant and its yield potential.
Vylor is one of the first companies in the agriculture industry to offer crops with built-in traits for insect protection and herbicide tolerance. Today, our biotechnology program is delivering distinct, never-before-seen, scientific solutions in corn and soybeans. This includes above-ground and below-ground insect protection, next-generation herbicide tolerance as well as the industry's first-ever yield and yield stability biotech gene in corn.

Innovations in gene editing

Vylor is a global leader in gene editing, a transformative new plant breeding technique that uses a plant’s own DNA to make precise improvements in crops. The science is enabling innovators to develop plants that can produce higher yields, and withstand harsh environmental conditions.
Vylor is advancing gene editing through its industry-leading Genlytix ecosystem, our own in-house research and through collaborations with global scientific community. Vylor has developed the industry's first multi-disease resistance (MDR) gene-edited corn technology. MDR corn technology protects against three foliar diseases and improves tolerance to a major stalk rot.

Digital Sciences

Data and digital science, which includes AI, helps us better target products and solutions for farmers – ultimately helping them grow more, increase their revenue and meet the food and fuel needs of a growing planet.
