Agenda Day 2

8:40 AM From Historical R&D Data to a Commercial Seed-Predictivity Solution

In agricultural R&D, useful predictions need to arrive in time to inform customer decisions. Croda's seed-predictivity case study will trace how long-term data and combined data science and knowledge-management capabilities supported the development of a commercially launched solution.

• Build on strong AI foundations: Discover how Croda's two decades of structured seed data, combined with seed expertise and integrated Data Science and Knowledge Management capabilities, laid the foundation for unparalleled product offerings in the market

• Cut lead time from months to weeks: See how AI supports priming, pelleting and X-ray analysis, reducing seed treatment time from up to nine months to around six weeks

• Enable same-season decisions: Learn how faster processing helps customers respond to demand, adjust supply plans and bring seed to market within the same growing season
