PowerPollen® and Oxbo have announced the first mechanized pollination solution for corn seed production to allow seed companies to directly purchase, integrate, and scale the system ahead of the 2026 growing season. The partnership leverages PowerPollen’s second-generation technology stack with Oxbo’s 5180 high-clearance power units for a true breakthrough in commercial pollination technology.
For the first time, seed companies and their service providers can purchase complete pollination units to control in-field pollination at scale, improving seed set, mitigating environmental and timing risks, and enhancing yield potential across commercial acres. Units are available exclusively to current PowerPollen license holders and fully supported by Oxbo with comprehensive sales, service, and technical support.
“This launch is more than just new equipment—it represents a turning point for our customers and for PowerPollen,” said Carl Cox, CEO of PowerPollen. “For the first time, seed companies don’t have to rely on limited-service windows. They can own the technology, run it on their schedule, and integrate it directly into their operations. That shift not only scales pollination in a historically unprecedented manner, it also represents PowerPollen’s unyielding commitment to the success of our customers. With this product offering, PowerPollen is pioneering innovation to deliver durable commercial solutions that generate unique value for our customers and strengthen the entire seed production system.”
The agreement runs through 2030 and PowerPollen co-founder Jason Cope says seeing their technology become commercially available through this partnership is very rewarding. “We believe this is just the beginning of what’s possible when breakthrough biological innovation is scaled through world-class engineering and manufacturing partnerships,” said Cope.
The new pollination collectors and applicators integrate seamlessly with existing Oxbo power units and will also be available as an upgrade with new equipment purchases.
