Power Pollen
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND PROFITABILITY OF COMMODITY CROPS
Pollination preservation expands beefits to producers
Yield Improvement
Our pollen preservation technology allows farmer and seed producers to pollinate at the ideal time
Less Risk
Controlled pollination also results in more consistent production.
More Flexibility
Our technology expands the window for planting, which means more flexibility to the impacts of weather on plant growth. Flexibility is valuable and allows farmers to get the highest value from each hectare.
Power Pollen
Yield Squared is a specialist organisaion dedicated to delivering advanced, predictable, pollination solutions. We are focessed on assisting seed companies strengthen their hybrid seed production.
While our initial focus has been on the hybrid corn sector, we are actively pursuing research and development support to extend our technology to additional crops, including canola, sorghum, and wheat. Deployments of PowerPollen technology in the United States have demonstrated yield enhancements of more than 40% for challenging corn hybrids. This materially reduces production costs and increases profit margins for seed company partners.
Beyond its application in seed production, this technology has also demonstrated advantages in commercial ethanol corn grain fields. Trials have indicated that xenia and synchronous pollination contribute to increased kernels per ear, higher kernel oil concentration, and improved grain yield per hectare.
The observed positive outcomes and economic benefits resulting from the combined application of these effectors present an innovative opportunity for grain producers to proactively manage kernel development and composition by utilising pollen as a vehicle for trait delivery.
Our Mission
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND PROFITABILITY OF COMMODITY CROPS
For the first time in history, farmers can extend the lifespan of pollen in a variety of crops. Power Pollen technology enables pollen to be preserved, stored and then applied at the optimal time to increase yield and minimize risks

Pollen technology to enhance yields in Australian crops
Research & Development
Following the demonstrated success of synchronous pollination in corn, we are now advancing research efforts to expand this technology into additional crop types, including canola and sorghum. Previous studies in corn ethanol production have shown that synchronous pollination can enhance kernel oil concentration by up to 67%. This presents a significant opportunity to evaluate its potential impact on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production from Australian canola.
This technology can also be used to improve Sorghum production by rapidly introducing new traits into hybrids, helping farmers better handle climate variability. Since Sorghum is often cultivated in environments with limited moisture, enhancing trait introduction via pollen can play an important role in managing these stresses more effectively.
Our long-term goal is to commercialise the technology for hybrid wheat seed production, aiming for full commercialisation by year 5 of research.
