The Future of Corn Growth

By: Jacqueline PucheConnie Liao

Michael DeSalvio

What is Corn Used For?

Corn Problems

• Susceptible to disease and pests• Requires a specific temperature range• Requires a specific amount of water (1-2in/week)• Must be grown by experienced growers• Growers need infrastructure to grow &

harvest

Temperature PatternReference of 1961 to 1991

Most of Arable Land Have Been Used

There’s Very Little Farmland Left

Farmland Is Degraded

NuCorn Tech Solutions

• Genetic hybrid was made using genes from desert plants.

• Allows roots to grow laterally & vertically.• Optimized for maximum immunity to pests• NuCorn Tech corn requires less water and

tolerates higher temperatures

Operations

NuCorn Tech is located in the rural outskirts of Phoenix Arizona.

Facility is 25 acres including the fields and processing facility

Fields are mechanically harvested by tractors

Manufacturing Process• Genes extracted through biotech proceses• Genes of desired nature are spliced into corn

genome• Final genome is transplanted into a premature

seed• New variant is grown and

harvested for sale
