The Future of Corn Growth
By: Jacqueline PucheConnie Liao
Michael DeSalvio
What is Corn Used For?
Corn Problems
• Susceptible to disease and pests• Requires a specific temperature range• Requires a specific amount of water (1-2in/week)• Must be grown by experienced growers• Growers need infrastructure to grow &
harvest
Temperature PatternReference of 1961 to 1991
Most of Arable Land Have Been Used
There’s Very Little Farmland Left
Farmland Is Degraded
NuCorn Tech Solutions
• Genetic hybrid was made using genes from desert plants.
• Allows roots to grow laterally & vertically.• Optimized for maximum immunity to pests• NuCorn Tech corn requires less water and
tolerates higher temperatures

Operations
NuCorn Tech is located in the rural outskirts of Phoenix Arizona.
Facility is 25 acres including the fields and processing facility
Fields are mechanically harvested by tractors
Manufacturing Process• Genes extracted through biotech proceses• Genes of desired nature are spliced into corn
genome• Final genome is transplanted into a premature
seed• New variant is grown and
harvested for sale
