School of Speed Breeding (SoSB), In speed breeding, light is more than illumination, It is a precision tool for accelerating crop innovation. By combining LED-based strategies with photoperiod control, it is shaping the next generation of high-yielding, resilient crops development. While growth chambers and controlled environments are essential, one of the most transformative tools in accelerating crop development is light
School of Speed Breeding (SoSB), Why Hydroponics + Speed Breeding? Hydroponics allows plants to grow without soil, using nutrient-rich water. This gives complete control over nutrients, water, and light. Speed breeding uses longer photoperiods and controlled environments to shorten the time from seed to seed. Together, hydroponics and speed breeding create the perfect conditions for plants to grow faster, healthier,
School of Speed Breeding (SoSB), Speed breeding isn’t just a method, it’s a catalyst for change in the way we grow, improve, and sustain vegetable crops in the decades to come. Vegetable breeding has entered a new era where the time from initial cross to market-ready variety can be dramatically reduced. Across worldwide, speed breeding is proving to be more
Agriculture is the backbone of human civilization, providing food, raw materials and economic opportunities worldwide. As the global population rises and climate change presents new challenges, traditional farming methods alone are no longer sufficient. This is where agricultural engineering plays an important role. By combining technology and biological sciences, agricultural engineers develop innovative solutions to improve efficiency and productivity in
Plant Breeders and seed companies, don’t miss this! Advance your crop generations faster with speed breeding. Plant breeders often need to grow several generations of a crop to develop a new variety. This process, especially from F2 to F5 or F6 generations, can take many years using traditional methods. But with speed breeding, this time can be reduced to just
