Introducing Nuseed Carinata, an entirely new contract cover crop opportunity with on-farm agronomic, economic, sustainability and carbon reduction benefits, is exciting and challenging. “Once growers understand all the benefits, including additional income from existing farmland, and know the Nuseed team is there to support them, they are keen to take the next step in adding

Global demand for independently certified sustainable, non-food low-carbon biofuel feedstock has already brought new agronomic and economic opportunity to Nuseed Carinata growers in Argentina. The development of the Nuseed Carinata Value Chain, the value creation supply chain connecting growers to end-use customers and new biofuel markets, is critical to certified biofuel production and a catalyst

Between main crop harvest and next season’s planting, when weather and current plant genetics prevent typical main crops from being grown, there is a drop in photosynthesis and atmospheric carbon removal. Cover crops, plants that grow well in this typically dormant period to “cover” and protect soil, sequester carbon during the winter or fallow season

The first Nuseed Carinata hybrids showcased strong agronomic performance in 2021 commercial demonstration plots in Uruguay, Argentina and the Southeastern United States. “By commercializing earlier maturing and higher yielding hybrids with increased vigor we are able to further increase the biomass above ground for maximum soil carbon sequestration, plus increase yield for a substantial increase
