South Africa: Breeding program to advance through machine learning

Computomics and Starke Ayres have announced a collaboration aimed at advancing crop breeding efforts through the application of machine learning technologies.

This collaboration will combine Starke Ayres' extensive experience in breeding vegetable crops with Computomics' Climate-Smart Breeding technology. The partnership will focus on improving crop selection processes by applying predictive analytics to large-scale genomic and environmental data, enabling more efficient and sustainable vegetable breeding outcomes.

"Our collaboration with Starke Ayres marks a step in leveraging AI technology to enhance breeding processes for key crops," said Dr. Sebastian J. Schultheiss, Managing Director of Computomics. "By integrating machine learning and data-driven insights into Starke Ayres' breeding programs, we aim to unlock new opportunities for genetic gain and deliver high-performing vegetable varieties tailored to specific regions and climate conditions."
