Patent number: 11864488Abstract: Techniques for recommending side-by-side plantings of pairs of seeds include a server computer receiving agricultural data records that represent crop seed data describing seed and yield properties of seeds and first data for agricultural fields where the seeds were planted. The server receives second data for available seeds and automatically calculates a dataset of success probability scores that describe the probability of a successful yield on the target fields. Data is organized as pairs to facilitate comparison of actual plantings to optimized plantings that have a probability of success (POS), in terms of yield lift or increased yield season-over-season, for different yield values. Confidence values are generated and stored in association with the POS values and can be used as a basis of visual output to support planting and/or field management decisions as part of an automated intelligent agricultural decision support system.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Jason Bull, Jyoti Dharna, Tonya Ehlmann, Yao Xie, Xiao Yang

Patent number: 9271455Abstract: Polymorphic soybean DNA loci useful for genotyping between at least two varieties of soybean. Sequences of the loci are useful for providing the basis for designing primers and probe oligonucleotides for detecting polymorphisms in soybean DNA. Polymorphisms are useful for genotyping applications in soybean. The polymorphic markers are useful to establish marker/trait associations, e.g. in linkage disequilibrium mapping and association studies, positional cloning and transgenic applications, marker-aided breeding and marker-assisted selection, hybrid prediction and identity by descent studies. The polymorphic markers are also useful in mapping libraries of DNA clones, e.g. for soybean QTLs and genes linked to polymorphisms.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Kunsheng Wu, John LeDeaux, David Butruille, Anju Gupta, Richard Johnson, Sam Eathington, Jason Bull, Marlin Edwards, Paul McLaird
