#TuneInTuesday featuring #Croptastic episode 3 with the founder of Ponder, Nick Koshnick. Dr. Koshnick joined us to talk about the genesis of his #agtech journey and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. Listen to the full episode below ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gMPxvPw6

📊 Insights from the Farm: It’s no secret that fungal disease remains a major challenge for maintaining and increasing soybean productivity in North America. To better understand growers’ perspectives on the issue, InnerPlant surveyed our #InnerCircle farmer community across the Midwest. The survey revealed several key insights about managing fungus in U.S. soybean fields: • Fungal stress is a concern for 96% of farmers surveyed. • Farmers want better scouting tools, with 80% indicating that they’d be likely to take action if fungal pressure was confirmed within five miles of their field. • 96% of farmers surveyed were open to receiving product application recommendations along with fungal infection alerts. 💡 More efficient and effective fungicide use requires early and accurate detection tools. With #CropVoice, we’re proud to be supporting soybean growers with *early* and *actionable* data and real-time recommendation alerts. This data-driven approach enables farmers to mitigate risk, spray smarter, and protect yields. 🌱 #AgTech #PrecisionAg #FutureofFarming

Conservation agriculture enhances soil health to create long-term sustainable food production. An 8-year study also revealed how these climate-friendly practices lead to increases in wheat and corn yields under warming temperatures. Seeing the added benefits of conservation agriculture in the context of climate change is especially important to build more resilient ag systems. https://lnkd.in/ek83frBS

🎙️ New #Croptastic Episode! 🌾 💡 What does a more resilient food system — for both food production and environmental conservation — look like? In our latest episode, InnerPlant CEO Shely Aronov sits down with Michael Doane, Director of Food and Freshwater Systems at The Nature Conservancy, for an inspiring discussion about the future of agriculture, global food systems, and our planet. What will it take for the U.S. to develop guidelines that create an environmental benefit while improving our ability to produce food?

Behind every physiological process is a specific gene telling a plant what to do at a given time. A recent discovery from the Boyce Thompson Institute atCornell University identified a protein family (COI) that plays a teeter-totter role in balancing both growth and defensive responses in corn. The research provides further insight into the complicated genetics of corn development, which could help create more productive and resilient varieties in the future. https://lnkd.in/gfcGCQAN

🌱 #HIRING - Field Sales Manager, Midwest 🌱 This critical member of our team will play a key role in engaging with growers to support and maximize product adoption across the Midwest. At InnerPlant, everything we do is centered around the farmer. Today, our transformational technology turns crops into living sensors. Unlocking data-driven farming at the plant level will enable our farmers to grow crops more effectively and efficiently than ever before — a key step in building a more sustainable and resilient agriculture system.

Excited to partner with Sun Ag and looking forward to 2025!

From a Father-in-Law's Insight to AgTech Innovation: The InnerPlant Story Get to know Shely Aronov, CEO & Founder of InnerPlant: “My InnerPlant journey started with a conversation I had with my father-in-law,  Yosi Shacham-Diamand, who at the time was a professor of nanoelectronics at Tel Aviv University. He told me how scientists modify plants to signal under stress as a way to study them in the lab. What I saw was purely academic but it planted the idea that plants can communicate and launched my efforts to talk to farmers to better understand their needs and how such technology might fit in the market.” 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A challenge that InnerPlant faced early on - and continues to work through - is introducing new technology into a highly consolidated industry. It was the classic approach of coming up with a plan and then executing it with sustained discipline that paid off. We brought together two giants in the industry - John Deere and Syngenta- in a joint effort to develop the first ever precision platform to reduce fungal contamination in soybeans using signal plants. 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 -𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲: As the mother of two young children, a lot of my personal time is devoted to them. I love cooking and find great joy in combining family time with preparing a meal. This is a part of our special TAU Ventures “Know the CEO” spotlight series, where we meet the stories behind some incredible leaders (and companies) in TAU Ventures’ portfolio.

Knowing how much fertilizer 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 a field is just as important as how much 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 the system. According to ag researchers at Penn State University, injecting liquid manure into cover crops can reduce nitrous oxide loss by 55% while maintaining yields — a win-win relationship! https://lnkd.in/gzzKhqrS
