Plant and forage

Forage is a building block of agricultural production.

AgResearch’s understanding of plant and endophyte technologies, such as metabolomics and epigenetics, leads the supply chain and supports the development of a new generation of livestock and plant-derived products. Subsidiary Grasslanz Technology takes these technologies to an international market.

Breeding & cultivation

Seed production
Developing better plant strains and hybrids for pastoral improvement.

Endophytes
