CropFax presents geographic seed selection tool for soy, corn

A geographic seed selection tool for corn and soy farmers in the US has been introduced by CropFax to improve the crop yield.

The company noted that there are over 30,000 different varieties of seeds to choose from, and the new tool can reveal the top 20 that should be planted in the specific zip code for maximum yield and performance.

The tool analyses details from all over the US to provide individual growers with the seed reports needed to bring the quality and quantity needed, the company said.

The tool has been developed through inputs from experts in the fields of engineering, artificial intelligence and neural networks. In addition, the company claimed that a 2010 study showed that the CropFax performances in each state surpassed the USDA averages by about 33%.
