Plant Breeding and Genetics

For more than a decade, NSIP has been developing and applying new genomics-based breeding methods across a wide variety of crop species. NSIP approaches breeding from an engineering perspective, examining each of the decisions points throughout the breeding process. Our goal has been to improve decision making throughout the entire production chain to optimize results for our clients.
