Rootility develops and uses innovative root-focused plant breeding methods to dramatically increase crop yields and overall agronomic performance, while preserving crop quality. Our methods are GMO-free, based on sophisticated simulation and empirical work, in combination with well-known breeding techniques, which enable us to screen crops at a
large scale and high speeds. We focus on roots as drivers
of tolerance to environmental changes and performance improvement. We believe we have a distinctive advantage in bringing better products to market in a more cost-effective way. Rootility has successfully applied its technology in a number of crops in different regions globally. Large scale field trials have been conducted over a period of 5 years and commercial sales have already been initiated.
