“The results of this current survey show that a majority (52%) of breeders report PBRs offer an important incentive for investment.

With fewer new varieties entering the market, farmers would be forced to rely for longer on older crop varieties that lack higher yielding capabilities.” #PBRs #breeding #plantbreeding #innovation #agriculture
