Friedberg notes top US corn farmers get 300 bushels per acre versus 175 average, showing efficiency potential upside.
“And in The Us while the average is one seventy five, there are farmers who regularly get over 300 bushels.”
Friedberg reports Ohalo experiments consistently showed yield increases through hybrid vigor as predicted.
“in every experiment we ran, the results were incredible. The yield goes through the roof. Everything we expected would happen happened. The genetic diversity creates hybrid vigor,”
Friedberg reports 50-100%+ yield gains from boosted breeding technology in initial trials.
“And so we started to do it, and the results were incredible. We saw 50 to a 100% plus gain in yield in the offspring.”
Friedberg reports seeing 50% per-acre yield increases in plants by simply turning genes on or off.
“having seen how turning certain genes on or off in a plant can extraordinarily expand the productivity of that plant and increase farmers' yields by 50% per acre, by just turning a gene off.”
Friedberg says turning genes on or off can increase farmer yields by 50% per acre, capabilities impossible ten years ago.
“It really is astounding what we can do today that we literally couldn't do ten years ago.”
Friedberg explains plants with multiple gene copies achieve higher yields because they can adaptively access different gene versions as needed.
“Turns out plants are very good at accessing the gene they need when they need it.”
Friedberg reports Ohalo experiments achieved breakthrough yield increases across multiple plant species as predicted.
“The yield goes through the roof. Everything we expected would happen, happened. The genetic diversity creates hybrid vigor, creates faster growing healthier plants, bigger plants.”
Friedberg reports every Ohalo experiment showed dramatic yield increases and hybrid vigor across the board.
