PowerPollen and Oxbo Launch First Commercial Mechanized Pollination System for Corn Seed Production

PowerPollen and Oxbo announced the first mechanized pollination solution for corn seed production, enabling seed companies to directly purchase, integrate, and scale the system ahead of the 2026 growing season. This exclusive partnership leverages PowerPollen’s second-generation technology stack with Oxbo’s 5180 high-clearance power units for a true breakthrough in commercial pollination technology. The partnership represents a significant shift in agricultural technology, moving from service-based models to scalable product platforms that seed companies can own and operate independently.

The technology enables precise, on-demand pollination that reduces weather and timing risks, improves seed quality, and increases yields by more than 20% across commercial acres. This mechanized system addresses critical challenges in corn seed production, where traditional pollination methods are highly vulnerable to environmental factors. By providing improved control and reliability, the solution helps stabilize seed supply chains and enhances productivity for seed producers facing increasing global demand. The integration with Oxbo's equipment ensures that the pollination technology can be deployed efficiently across diverse field conditions.

The exclusive partnership through 2030 integrates PowerPollen’s technology with Oxbo's 5180 high-clearance power units, marking PowerPollen’s shift from a service model to a scalable product platform with global market potential. This strategic business evolution allows seed companies to purchase, own, and operate pollination units rather than relying on third-party services. The mechanized pollination system represents a fundamental advancement in agricultural biotechnology, potentially transforming how hybrid corn seed is produced worldwide. The technology has been validated through multiple seasons of year-round field trials across thousands of commercial acres.

The announcement comes at a critical time for global agriculture, as climate variability and food security concerns drive demand for more reliable and productive farming technologies. The mechanized pollination solution could significantly impact corn seed production economics by reducing labor requirements, minimizing crop losses due to pollination failures, and increasing overall yield consistency.
