CREATING CLIMATE RESILIENT CROPS
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND PROFITABILITY OF COMMODITY CROPS
Pollination preservation expands benefits to growers
Yield Improvement
Our pollen preservation technology allows farmer and seed producers to pollinate at the ideal time
Less Risk
Controlled pollination also results in more consistent production.
More Flexibility
Our technology expands the window for planting, which means more flexibility to the impacts of weather on plant growth. Flexibility is valuable and allows farmers to get the highest value from each hectare.
Yield Squared: Pioneering Agricultural Innovation
Exclusive Technology Licence
Yield Squared holds the exclusive licence to Power Pollen Incorporated patented technology for Australia and New Zealand. This significant, multi-million dollar investment has enabled Australasia’s farmers access to the only supplementary pollination system of broad acre crop production. This technology has been developed over the last decade in the United States. The technology’s application is now expanding, with ongoing development in rice and wheat in the USA, and further development into other crop species here in Australia with our R&D collaboration with La Trobe university.
Research and Development Expansion
In addition to commercialising Power Pollen corn technology exclusively for Australia and New Zealand, Yield Squared is actively advancing supplementary pollination into new crop species, aiming to broaden the benefits of this innovative solution to a wider range of farmers.
Company Background and Leadership
Yield Squared is supported by Gowing Brothers Ltd, a publicly listed Australian family company with a history spanning more than 150 years. The business is led by General Manager Jason Scott, who brings over 30 years of experience in Australian agriculture. His expertise encompasses roles from field agronomist to national corn product manager and national silage specialist within a multinational seed company, as well as non-executive board positions within the dairy industry. This depth of experience, positions Yield Squared for continued growth, driven by business development and focused research initiatives.
Collaborative Research Efforts
Yield Squared is currently fostering a working relationship with the Department of Ecological, Plant and Animal Sciences, School of Agriculture, Biomedicine and Environment at La Trobe University in Melbourne. This collaboration is focused on conducting further research into new crop species, with the intention to expand into the first of these species within the next 5 years.
Our Mission
IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND PROFITABILITY OF COMMODITY CROPS
Yield Squared is dedicated to revolutionising pollination by offering a scalable agricultural technology solution designed to deliver measurable returns for investors and stakeholders.

Research & Development
Following the demonstrated success of synchronous pollination in corn, we are now advancing research efforts to expand this technology into additional crop types. Previous studies in corn ethanol production have shown that synchronous pollination can enhance kernel oil concentration by up to 67%. This presents a significant opportunity to evaluate its potential impact on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production from Australian SAF feedstocks.
This technology can also be used to improve hybrid seed production by rapidly introducing new traits into hybrids, helping farmers better handle climate variability. Since Australian agricultural crops are often cultivated in environments with limited moisture, enhancing trait introduction via pollen can play an important role in managing these stresses more effectively.
To fully unlock the potential of supplementary pollination, further research is essential, both to refine the technology and to validate its commercial viability across diverse farming systems. While early results show promising gains in yield, oil content, and operational efficiency, scaling this innovation requires deeper understanding of crop specific responses, optimal pollen application methods, and integration within existing farm practices.
Collaborative Research Efforts
Yield Squared is currently fostering a working relationship with the Department of Ecological, Plant and Animal Sciences, School of Agriculture, Biomedicine and Environment at La Trobe University in Melbourne. This collaboration is focused on conducting further research into canola and sorghum, with the intention to expand into additional crops in the near future.
