The use of microbe-enhanced seeds promises enhanced crop yield and higher revenue due to their propensity to flourish even in drought conditions. These microbes act like beneficial bacteria found in the human gut, residing on the plant's surface and within its tissues. One application of this technology is in cotton seeds, where the embedded microbes enable the growth of cotton plants without any genetic alterations. This innovation is the work of Indigo Agriculture and has already been applied across 50,000 acres in five southern US states. Monsanto is an additional agritech firm that has introduced numerous microbe-based products.
