Major food crops such as corn, soybean, canola, wheat and rice are well-established, high acreage food-use crops.  In certain instances, these row crops also have applications in biofuels.  TGI's yield enhanced row crop products address the fundamental, long-term challenges driving food shortages and an unprecedented rise in food prices. Long-term trends in crop acreage planted as well as yields and production indicate that increasing yield from the same area will be necessary in order to sustain growth and profits for farmers.

Building on the success of Targeted Growth’s technologies in model systems, the company has expanded its programs to include over 150 field trails in canola, corn, soybean, sorghum and camelina. Targeted Growth has demonstrated improvements across a number of crops that have potential to counter the flat yield levels and overall decline in production over the last three decades.

Targeted Growth’s scientifically-driven research and development is being explored in multiple crops, including:		 Canola in flower Canola in flower
