Our industry partner and endophyte collaborator, Indigo Ag, released the results of their 2016 commercial launch of Indigo Cotton planted on 50,000 acres across the US cotton belt. The 2016 results showing positive impacts of fungal endophyte treatment on cotton yields were presented for the first time as part of a research presentation by Greg at the 2017 Beltwide Cotton Conference.

Here’s the Indigo Press Release, and you can see some articles about in The Financial Times or Delta Farm Press.
