Adaptation & Technology: Key to Productivity Improvement http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg1/en/ch11s11-1-2.html Self introduction Topic of today – why is it important Why should I talk to it Pritiranjan Rath DuPont Pioneer India +91 8008566646

Breeders and agronomists have sustained crop production in the last century by developing improved crops and technologies Adapting to change is not new to farmers - or to those of us at Pioneer and in the ag industry who serve them. Tell story on the chart Early 1900’s farmers used open pollinated varieties. Henry Wallace and others like him discovered that hybrids were heterotic – they performed better Over time, new inventions came: different ways for hybrid production, mechanization, fertilizers, transgenic traits In addition, the world was changing – population was growing, and the climate was changing. At every step of the way, farmers had to adapt the way they did things to ensure maximum yields.

Integrated Approach Farming System Breeding Program Germplasm But climate change results in more than just changes in temperature. Over time, we have seen that changing climate (top left photo) occurs at the same time as Changes in the farming system: hand/animal planting to mechanization (picture from Plainview) Breeding progress, technology markers changing The advances are complicated and probably not necessarily anticipated, yet we, and farmers have adapted to them to continuously increase yields

Improving adaptation to future climate change Evolving landscape of breeding simulation Cycle of selection Trait Value + Breeding in 2050 Define Climate Scenarios Translate Climate to Yield Simulate Breeding I’d like to take a minute to talk about how at Pioneer we are looking at the future. We have advanced modeling capabilities with our breeding simulation technology to to assess traits and germ for future climates. These are built on evolution, theory and frameworks. Capability developed by Pioneer. This slides shows some of the modeling concepts but what I really want to focus on is the unique capability and the fact that we combine information from a number of sources. We do have capability to predict plant performance to some extent. New capabilities to deal with more complexity Expect Genetics x Environment interaction may change in the future Capability to learn and understand as we track Assess Changes in Adaptive Traits And Performance

Integrated approach to drought tolerance Pioneer is the leader in delivering performance in water-limited environments Industry-leading HYBRIDS Superior germplasm Breeding since 1950’s 35F44 Power of genetics NATIVE TRAITS Native tolerance + AYT™ system technology Drought tolerance is one area where we have been using AYT with great success. Pioneer is the leader in delivering performance advantages in water limited environments. We do this through an integrated approach. While we do this for all traits, I’ll just talk today about drought tolerance. First, we have industry leading hybrids – developed through conventional breeding techniques. Our germplam collection was first established in the 1920’s by our founder Henry Wallace. In the 1950’s we opened the first drought breeding program in the industry in Nebraska. This year, we launched AQUAmax hybrids in a limited area of the Western US, which is an arid region. These hybrids were developed through AYT and native traits. In Europe, we are continually increasing our investment in the number of sites specifically targeting improvements in yield in water limited conditions, in 2011 we will have for example eight sites with controlled irrigation, and this represents a doubling of our efforts since 2009. We are continuing work in both of these areas as well as in transgenic traits and have a number of transgenic leads in drought tolerance. I’d also like to point out that we are combining our drought tolerance traits with advanced biotech traits to protect against a number of ag challenges. For example – we have hybrid 35F44, with improved drought tolerance, carrying insect resistance and herbicide tolerance. By improving these two factors, we can help improve performance in water stressed environments. In this case it is clear to see that water, a very costly and finite resource and crop input would be considerably reduced by advances in breeding leading to greater drought tolerance of major crops such as maize.
